Just last week, my cousin and I drove hours to an antique store in Glens Falls, NY looking for washboards. We were so ecstatic when we found them, we actually did a jig right in the middle of the shop! Everyone thought we were crazy, which made us even happier, and then ran home, salvaged instruments in hand, and jammed all night to our favorite songs.
All sorts of household items can be used to make INCREDIBLE music. If you have your own video, share it with me! Send the link to ncolao@hunter.cuny.edu.
P.S. Yonder is the Clock, by The Felice Brother's was just announced as BBC's top "country" album of the year. While the Felice Brother's are NOT country (Americana is more suiting), I still wanted to announce their success! Congratulations to the Felice Brothers! Check out their albums, they are an EXCEPTIONAL band (and introduced me to the world of washboards and salvaged instruments).
