Ooops  Sorry Art:

  I forgot you play Wash Tub Bass,  of course you must wear a tie, 
otherwise they would not let you into the venue with that thing to do 
the gig :))  lol.   You should also be wearing Spats !  And sporting a 
Handlebar mustache.

Cheers,

Tom

 Hello all, 
 
 Listmate Art Terry writes (regarding band apparel):

it

band

  Actually there is more to be said about this. Art Terry is a member of 
my band (The Boondockers) and normally we dress in tan pants and some 
sort of ugly tropical shirt (no two are ever the same). 
 
  We do have a band t-shirt which we occasionally wear. It has the band 
logo printed on it. But, as I say, we normally don't wear that shirt 
(makes us look too neat). 
 
  To actually see the band in action at the Logan, Ohio annual washboard 
festival I am providing a link for you to click on and a full color 
picture of the band should appear on your monitor. 
 
  >From left to right the musicians are: Dan Levinson (clarinet), Gary 
Church (cornet), Ralph Thompson (banjo), Jim Maihack (t-bone), Bob 
Ringwald (piano), yours truly (washboard) and ART TERRY (washtub bass). 
 
  Notice the "respectful" necktie worn by Mr. Terry . . . his mother 
made it for him and he always wears it (actually he has several like 
this with different patterns).

 Is that a lovely tie or what!
