Waxia Special recording... Need advice

Just received the Steve Riley video a couple weeks ago and attempted the Waxia Special.

Unfortunately my house was burglarized in the process of learning.

My basement door was kicked in last weekend, my DVD player was taken, along with my digital camera. I've had a bit of a set back. Thank Christ my accordions were not stolen.

I guess the crack heads don't know what they are and what they're worth.

Anyway, I know my version is not what it should be.

I added a key change on the B part to make up for what I'm lacking.

Anyone advice on how to change volume better with the bellows? I still can't figure it out. I tend to burst out loud and stay loud.... Alot of my inspiration comes from accordionists who burst out and stay loud throughout the songs.

I forgot to add my recording
