John Kimmel

This tune is played by John Kimmel, as a polka indeed, on his album *John Kimmel, virtuoso of the Irish accordion*, a Folkways release, as scratchy as they come (it's an early 20s recording). I will post it if nobody else does.
His version on the D melodeon is simply unbelievable. Terrific.
