I know also an interesting similar version (Two-step des yeux) in two-step by "T-Monde" sung by Drew Simon.
Valse de St Landry similar version "valse de dimanche après-midi"
Duson Waltz-Aldus Roger
Bayou Chene-Iry Lejeune
La Valse De St. Landry-Austin Pitre
La Valse De St. Landry- Joe Falcon
Dimanche Apres Mide-Bois Sec Ardoin
Probably more. Jesse Lege recorded a La Valse De St. Landry that is a different tune.
I found some of those versions already. You're right Bryan about the name. i was surprised not to find this waltz played in youtube under the name of Opelousas or St.Landry. Suddenly you change the name and....voilá. Magic!
All versions fairly similar. That will help the work on that second part
