Mike Billo BS: Washboards (31) RE: BS: Washboards 06 Nov 99


The Washboards International site (www.washboards.com)Reggie mentions, has been off-line for quite some time now. However, interested folks should keep trying since I'm hoping it will reappear. Like Reggie, I too have a harmonica rack mounted on my washboard, with a configuration of rubber bands that hold a kazoo as well. At one time,I had a lot of attachments, but realized that my playing had become a series of annoying sound effects (which is the fault of my playing, not of the attachments) I just yielded to the temptation of playing them all the time. And I'm sure there are plenty of folks who would still say my playing is a series of annoying sound effects. Today, I just have the washboard and the harmonica rack. If you can ever find any old recordings that have a washboardist named Eddie Edinborough (active in the 20's, played with Elmer Snowden and Leecan and Cooksey)check 'em out! What an unsung hero!
