Hi Bob,

OK, let's have it. Where can we hear your washboard recording?

In my case, I know the washboard was a little flat, but I couldn't do
anything about it.

By the way, the first time I used that line, it was an accident. During a
performance, someone in the band asked me if my washboard was in tune, and I
answered without thinking that it was flat. I meant it to be a clever
response since you don't tune washboards. But to my surprise, the whole room
broke out laughing, and I didn't know why. Then I got it. I do some of my
best work by accident.

Cheers,

Dear Elazar,

Many thanks for posting "Royal Garden Blues". I enjoyed it a lot, but there
was one flaw that happens on so many one-man-band recordings - the washboard
wasn't tuned properly!

P.S. Please don't ask me for a list of one-man-bands with a washboard,
otherwise I'll have to admit to my own one-man-recording with washboard.

Kind Regards

Bob Smith
