Musical Crafts - A Washtub Bass from 1955

 


Played by all the 'coolest cats.' I'm going to have to make this - if I can persuade my oldest sister to bring her accordion to the next family function, the utter mortification of everyone's teenagers is assured.

    Teenager mortification is a MUST!

    It is what I live for. Fortunately, since we have 28 nieces and nephews between us, it's a target-rich environment.

    We want photos. Actually, videos would be better (bonus points if they have friends over).

    You also need somebody to play the washboard, and bonus points if you can find a spoon player!

    Triple bonus if you can dig up someone with an ocarina.

    Sounds like a great band. Will you take bookings?
