[Dixielandjazz] Is Skiffle OKOM?

[Jerry Gordon]

As one of the most (in)famous washboard players in all of Troy, NY, I
certainly do!

Have to ask TPTB, do you consider Skiffle Music to 

be OKOM?

 

The term skiffle is associated with Lonnie 

Donegan, but the music has its roots in:

+ Spike Jones

+ The Hoosier Hotshots

 

That tradition is carried on by the Washboard 

Wizardz.   You can watch them here --

The guitar player is playing Tenor (like the 

Hotshots) but he also plays banjo.

 

Enquiring minds want to know,
