Richmond Cotillion

"The Montreal fiddle and guitar duo Joyeux Montréalais recorded the tune in 1934 as "Reel de Richmond (Le)." This duo was Clark & Luches Kessinger. Their recording of "Richmond Polka" (Brunswick 309) was also issued under the pseudonym and French title on Brunswick 52077. The recording was made on 5 Feb 1929 in NYC. "Henry Ford’s dance orchestra recorded the tune for the dance Heel and Toe Polka, in a medley with “Jenny Lind (1),” under the title “Richmond Polka.” I listened to the Henry Ford Dance Orchestra's recording made in NYC on 16 Jan 1926 (Columbia 555-D) and to my ear, it sounds very little like "Richmond Cotillion" as played by the Southern Broadcasters, Kessinger Bros. Blue Ridge Highballers, etc. It can be heard on YouTube.
