This is patently untrue. You did a whole set with me at the Pismo 
Jubilee-by-the-Sea in a musical extravaganza named (in the program) "Scott 
Anthony and friends." But I don't think I stood close enough to you to cause 
hearing impairment. Also, I marched in a parade with you up in Placerville 
at a festival there.

Perhaps the keyword in your sentence was "artist" - It may be true that 
you've never played with a washboard "ARTIST!"

Cheers,

Bill Gunter
