I was there. At one of them anyway. I still have some photos of it somewhere 
I think. It was fun for sure. You wouldn't think so with so many washboards 
but it was actually rather musical also. Lol

I did enjoy playing the washboard. Still do once in a great while but it is 
harder from the wheelchair. Getting onto a stage is the hardest part. I never 
wanted to do anything fancy but just hold a good rhythm. I was told by others 
that I accomplished that and I was just fine with it. 

I gave mine to Conrad Janice's wife as she was wanting to play. I have never 
heard her though so don't know if she accomplished that. I still have a small 
one that fits on my lap and do carry my thimbles around. You just never know. 
Lol
