It's a Monarch. Makes sense with the gold bellow tape and the design of the stops. Watch it in full screen and HD. You can clearly see the name if you look at the right frame.

Re: Pee Wee Broussard and Lee Man Prejean and Jolie Blonde

I tried to learn a little more about Raymond François as he is always quoted for his book, but never as a performer (as far as I know, of course). It's not easy. All I could find is this:

"About the Author Raymond Francois is a retired Cajun musician, one of the original founding members of the Cajun French Music Association and an elector on the Hall of Fame Committee. Raymond spent six years compiling this 506-page book, working day and night. The stress of the work eventually affected his health." (from the website below).
