Ok, Roger.

Oh, I remember that kazoo and washboard were my early instruments, too. I "stole" the washboard in summer 1981 from my grandma ( I was just 14 years old then ), and I did my first professional recording on that washboard later in November 1990. We recorded in my first official recording session 4 Dixieland tracks for a Music cassette for children --- "Papa & die Babybande" = Papa & The Baby Gang --- which was very successful in Germany in the early 90s and sold many, many thousand times. We got paid a fixed studio fee, no royalties, but that doesn´t matter ... I think it was important for our latest traditional jazz revival, too ...
