What's a Midi!? says UD! :

GlennT, you can find a huge selection of polka midi files to choose from doing a Google search. Here's what my Goggle search came up with:

Thanks, Scott. Yea, I've been googling, but nothing good so for. Specifically, I'm looking for one good Slovenian Polka MIDI. (don't think that's reached the Bay area yet ) A Slovenian polka is one that makes extensive use of what I call a 'chuga-chuga' pattern... that being a pattern of eighth note chords, usually on the accordion, with emphasis on the 2 and 4 beat, and strong drums. Used extensively by Jimmy Sturr.

Once I have a good midi using this style, I can plug it into BIAB and create a pattern.
