[Dixielandjazz] Communication

[Robert S. Ringwald]

Larry,

Check out the Columbus Washboard Company in Logan, Ohio.  They are the only 
company making washboards in the US. Any others are really cheap & made in 
Mexico or overseas.

Jacqui Barnett, one of the owners is the one who started the International 
Washboard Festival which takes place each year in June.

Jacqui's e-mail is washboard at hocking.net

HTH.
