Greg, although I know that the Cajun accordion was actually the first instrument Ladbelly learnt to play, I cannot locate any photographs of him playing accordion.The foremost expert on the African-American accordion tradition is Jared Snyder, who wrote "Leadbelly and his Windjammer: Examing the African American Button Accordion Tradition," American Music 12 (1994) . If you really wanted to find a photo, he would be the man to contact.
