No one covers one important subject in all this set up talk. Where does
the 
washboard guy sit?

Remember the calypso "Day oooo"  recording where the Day ooo guy is sent
further & further away, until finally you hear him open & close the
door, and sing in a muffled tone behind the closed door?   (That's the
hint for the washboard player's position!)   

When it comes time for the part to come in again, you hear a crash of
broken glass, and he says "I come tru da window", and finishes with a
very loud Day ooo, Daylight comes......etc.
