Yeah, you can see and hear their appeal to General or C&W audiences. BTW,
that 4 year old kid who played the accordion on the earlier YouTube is now
15 years old. You can see what he is now all about at:

5 CDs, many concerts, big fan base.

Cheers,

Here's another YouTube, this one of adults who do very well entertaining
groups of all ages.  You can see some of their sense of "play" and "fun" as
they entertain.  This group now has a DVD out in which that is even more
clear than in this YouTube captured moment.  The group is the Washboard
Wizardz (spelling correct). They market what they do as "hillbilly jazz".
It will probably not appeal to many on this list, but I'm told that when
they play for the more general public, rather than OKUM fans, entire
audiences spontaneously join in singing the chorus.

This YouTube captured performance was filmed before a small group as will be
obvious.

What fun to see a 4 year old accordion player at a Country/Western concert.
Note the crowd reaction. If "J" gets hip to this scene, he may go C&W
because that's where the money, enthusiasm and young girls are. :-) VBG.
