Hi all,

When I play my ax I become, Zen-like, one with my instrument. Any movements 
I make are an essential and integral part of my music. The more I move the 
more music I produce. You have to know how many moving parts I have to fully 
answer the question.

How many moving parts does my washboard have? . . . Lots!


Respectfully submitted,
