POLKA DONALDA, LA. AKA "Polka de Donalda." French-Canadian, Polka (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCCDD. The tune was recorded in the 78 RPM era by Albert J.O. La Madeleinem and has been attributed to him. It may have been Ukrainian in origin, or La Madeleine may have been inspired by a similar Ukrainian polka melody.
