Especially among the washboard players!

Who could we get to back up such a show? Let's see, we'd probably need some 
accordian players along with the mandatory banjos. Pete Main could bring his 
sarousaphone and duck call. We mustn't forget the spoons and bones players 
along with the bilabial fricatation virtuosity of the Reynolds Brothers and 
Westy. Kazoos are certainly a must in any such aggregation! A washtub bass 
and a stumpfiddle would fit right in. Then, to top it all off, we'd need 
someone to make armpit farts.

Any ideas?
