I always heard that (hand jive) called hambone. I have heard ot called hand jivin as well though. What is the difference or is there any? I know in hambonin they use all body parts to produce sound eg slapping knees, elbows, chest, feet whatever they can reach.

Most of the time I hear non-musicians use the phrase talkin jive. Younger cats use it the most.

Hand jivin or whatever is really popular with older men in Ky. They will sing and do it if there is no instrument around. I grew up watching them hand jive (or as they called it hambone) and learned several songs that I play on the guitar this way. I don't do it but it is a strong memory.
