Tony Lovello is a friend of mine...he was the general manager of the Campbell House Inn here in Lexington, where I played in the early 80's. He as a former member of the Three Sons. His brother, Sam, I think, was a producer for He Haw!Tony has had a hearing problem for years, so he only played for private parties at the Inn and organized and played for New Years. He played a Petosa accordion, and I met up with a represntative of the company, Joe Petosa, at the Inn. That's where I found out about Solton (now Ketron). Bought my MS 60 from Joe (Petosa Music is still a Ketron dealer in Seattle), and have been a Ketron fan every since.
Petosa is a great supplier, If you're in the Seattle area. Tony is a great "old school" showman, complete with puffy shirts, etc.
