I only know skiffle from what I have read of British Invasion bands and their roots. About twenty years ago, or so, the oldies channels were playing "Rock Island Line", and "Does your Chewing Gum lose it's flavor" by Lonnie Donegan, so I know those two songs.

I heard Paul Mac's version of the Viper's "No Other Baby". I don't know if that counts as true skiffle or not, but I loved the slow, brooding quality of the tune. I looked up the Viper's Skiffle Group(??) on Allmusic.com, and one of their CD's looked very interesting. They seemed to have no trouble mixing skiffle with American R and R. After all, they have some of the same roots.

One day I will get a compilation of fiftie's British skiffle, because I am intrigued by this period musically, both in the states and in the UK/Ireland.

And Heck, Lonnie is only one year older than Johnny...

Cash, that is.

Skiffle on!!!!
