A sequence of old Lockyer Valley barn dances played on button accordion by Norm Boughen and Ron Kerle of Minden.  Norm and Ron knew literally hundreds of dance and song tunes from the German pioneering communities that have been played for generations by the local button accordion players.  Many hours of Norm and Ron’s playing is now held by the National Library of Australia (NLA) in their Oral History collections.
