There's a Time and a Place for Everything in life, and the Time and place for 
the Washboard is:

In the laundry Room when granma wants to do the washing, or in a hot Zydeco 
band playing for a convention of the severely hearing impaired.  :)   It was 
invented to wash clothes not as a musical instrument, unless of course you play 
it in the Croatian Philharmonic Kazoo Orchestra.  :)
