Name of tune
My daughter learned this tune at George Wilson's Cape Breton fiddle camp in Rhode Island last summer, but he didn't know the name. She would like to be able to call it something besides the "Unknown Cape Breton Reel"! Thanks to anyone who knows the name.

Third part
I just learned (from fiddler Denis Maheux and accordeonist Adelard Thomassin, of Quebec) that Reel Saint-Antoine has a third part. They don't play it every time through the tune, though. I'll post it as a variation, but I have to learn it first...lots of recordings to go through!

Tune Source
There is a town in New Brunswick, Canada called Saint Antoine where this tune is quite popular. It is played in 'A' and the notation is quite similar to that provided here. There are a number of very good Acadian fiddlers in this town with a lot of fiddling history. It is very likely that this where the tune originated. I have a contact there and will pose the question.
