[Dixielandjazz] Re: Female washboardists (was Ann Sortier)

[Russ Guarino]

Here in the greater Monterey neighborhood, in Santa Cruz, we have the energetic
"Big Mama" Sue Kroniger who also does vocals and drums.  She's quite busy and
popular in the State and elsewhere.  She is a professional musician, she makes
her living 100% in music entertainment.
