> But I can't go without including an audio link to The Six Jolly Jesters and "Goin' Nuts", recorded on 29 October 1929 with Bruce Johnson (wbd) and Teddy Bunn (g) with Freddy Jenkins (t) and the Duke Ellington rhythm section. Listen to Johnson humming along with his wbd solo. (Something Ralph Sutton later did quite frequently.)

> I have been using a great world-class washboardist (Don Sheske) in my Banjo Barons Ragtime Band trio and Dixie Barons Quartet for about the last 10 years. Take a listen to "Coney Island Washboard" and "Anything Goes" at the link below. I like the sound and the driving rhythm it provides. Plus, it's a great attraction at gigs and really gets attention from kids.
