Re: Bubba Brown on the youtube...

I had never heard of this musician. I like his playing and singing very much too.
And his Weltmeister has a beautiful old sound!

Re: Bubba Brown on the youtube...

Thanks for the heads up.. outstanding player.

Folks used to criticize the look and sound of my Weltmeisters.. actually branded Gallota and Regal. They are very fine modestly priced instruments.
I played on them for many years..

Brown makes them sound great.

Re: Bubba Brown on the youtube...

Bubba is playing a vintage Sterling which is completely different from any current accordion with that name. They are rare as hen's teeth and sound like a million bucks. They also use a lot of air and have loose bellows compared to a modern box so you have to be a very good player to get everything out of them.
