Reggie!! You sure sound like a kindred spirit. I've never heard of Captain Stubby and the Boone County Buccaneers. Who's been keeping this information from me? I'm going to have to start seeking out their stuff immediately. The only other band I've found that sounds like the HHS, that were performing at the same time as the HHS was a group from Texas called Bob Skyles and his Skyrockets. In fact one of their records was "We're Not The Hoosier Hot Shots". I'm sure you already know about Washboards International, but just in case you don't, they are at http://www.washboards.com. Are you aware of the Washboard rub-off on the last day of the Saceamento Dixieland Jubilee memoroial Day weekend? Hundreds of washboard players from around the world playing simultaneously (not everybody's cup of tea, the faint-hearted are soon weeded out)and swapping design ideas. Also, my wife, Marian, and I maintain a Spoons,Bones and Washboards site at http://homestead.com/oldmusic/MusicalSpoons.html check it out. I've never heard of Robert "Oneman" Johnson or Carlton Baltimore either! You're posting was a wealth of information. Anyone interseted in the Washboard rub-off in Sacramento or, talking washboard lore in general (you may be the only one Reggie)email me at mbillo@earthlink.net
