A Palerno

This is a Tex-Mex waltz recorded in 1929 I got from the album "Norteño & Tejano Accordion Pioneers, Mexican-American Border Music Vol. III." According to the book "Tejano Proud": "R. de León and L. Villalobos made the first conjunto recroding in 1929, a vals called 'A Palerno.'"

I'm playing my Hayden duet concertina made by Wim Wakker -- see my first Hayden duet video for more information on the instrument:

I uploaded the same video to Vimeo, you can see it with somewhat better picture and sound there:

Sorry, I can see now it's a Hayden duet concertina made by Wim Wakker - no reply required then.

Good stuff mate. Do you need melodic tones to play minor key songs like this? What kind of squeezbox is this? I must have one to go on the top of my enormous pile of dusty instruments.
