Thanks for viewing my channel! My name is Aaron Brown. I'm a self-taught Newfoundland button accordionist. I grew up listening to the lively traditional tunes being played at kitchen parties and local venues throughout Newfoundland, and created this channel to introduce others to this energetic, foot-tapping style of music and way of life.
Most of the videos on this channel will include covers of traditional Celtic, Irish and Newfoundland music played on the button accordion. You'll also find videos of Newfoundland scenery, step dances and other clips from the past featuring east coast heritage.
My father loved this song and the girl he married. In his wallet he carried a photo of her . Lo and behold! There was our Mom with her hair up and a rose in her hair.
@@e.miller8943 I got my first Erica brand new about 15 years ago and it’s been around and taken a beating here and there, they are solid instruments. Definitely one of the most reliable for this type of music. I also recommend them to students as it’s a great accordion to learn on too.
It's called an Ugly Stick. Beer caps fitted on the sides, groves,mop head on the end a smaller stick to tap it and keep rhythm. Sounds better when you hear it in person.
Last comment for the day..This is the "Aaron Bown from Barrhaven" guy again. Noticed one of the last names is "Freake", which are part of my family roots. My grandfather was Samuel Bown (Rev) and my dad actually has it in his name, "David James Freake Bown" Enough ancestry.ca for the day! Great work. Keep the videos coming. Lots of people looking for this stuff.
I love this version of THE ROSE IN HER HAIR. This group is so good. No one overpowers the other, they have great timing, the accordions go together like perfect symmetry, and there is a real gentle voice at the mike. And you can see how much they love doing what they do.
Thanks so much! We certainly do have fun playing. Unfortunately we only get a chance to play together once a year or so now but we make the best of it and have fun. Thanks so much for watching.
