Saint Anne's Reel is undoubtedly the most popular French Canadian tune among fiddlers here in the lower 48. Marty, who has been playing harmonica since the early 60s, manifests his complete unity with the instrument. I am playing my 1902 Fairbanks Whyte Laydie, three-finger style without picks.

It feels like A Dorian, but it does not use the third degree of the scale, so it is hard to say for sure. My friend Tim Rowell recorded this tune with me at Clifftop 2011 one afternoon, at his campsite. He is playing clawhammer, while I am picking three-finger style. We both first heard this on Adam Hurt&#39s inspiring Earthtones CD (engineered by BHO&#39s own Paul Roberts), but ended up going back to Stamper to learn it. This tune comes from fiddler Art Stamper.

I&#39m playing a Mike Ramsey-made copy of the &#34Fairbanks Family Banjo&#34, tuned something like gEADE. This recording was the kernel on which my pal Tom Berghan built a masterful version of this tune by adding in soprano banjo, bass banjo, percussion and the like. The transformation this recording goes through in his hands is remarkable, and quite beautiful. It can be heard on his music page under the name Stoney Point.
