Midnight polka, where can I find it?
On the Paddy o’Brien tune collection there is a polka named The Midnight Polka. I can’t find it anywhere else, does anyone know it by another name or know of a recording?

theres a Youtube clip of Tom Anderson and Peerie Willie Johnson - sorry dont have time to link just now
The tune in the video was titled “Midnight Polka” on Tom Anderson’s 1963 LP, but I believe the correct name for it is “Moon Light Polka” (or Moonlight Polka) as published in his 1995 collection ‘Gie’s an A’.

I think both recordings called it “The Midnight Polka” (Paddy’s and the one above), “Midnight Polka” for shorthand works too.
On a different note, the Sister Jean video reminded me of a Canadian feeling tune.
Thanks all!
