It never would have occurred to me to think of Asylum Street Spankers as a
Skiffle Band--still does not seem to fit. In the only live show I saw IF they
were playing saws, washboards, kazoos, home-made instruments--I never really
noticed. So I would think such instruments, if used, were peripheral rather
than central to their music. I'm one of their gray haired fans and I think
of them as one of the best string bands, if not the best, on the scene today.
I also think of them as vocally superb.

Around the SF Bay Area I have seen quite a few "Grey Haired OKOM
Stalwarts" at Asylum Street Spanker shows - not just college kids and
swing dancers!
They are great!
