Had all that cork on our face... made us look even blacker... shit, painted our mouths white... made 'em look big... I had to have a shot of liquor before the show. If I didn't it seemed like I couldn't be funny in front of all them people. When I had one it seemed like them people was one and I would throw up the banjo in the air and really put on a show. - Gus Cannon, on performing with Dr. Stokey's Medicine Show in Clarksdale, Mississippi

Peter Healy - backing vocal, harmonica
Greg Luland aka Arthur Blake - Guitar and Vocal Washboard Pete Donohue - playing my washboard Pete Donohue is also an expert on playing the spoons and other percussion instruments but this was just his third time on a washboard he says. I have been looking for someone who could play washboard for years and finally found one and we are looking forward to playing more Piedmont and raggy blues for local Australian blues fans and I hope you fellow Weenies will enjoy this, I hope for more posts of similar ilk. Salty Dog is a tune that remains close to my heart as it was the first video I ever uploaded to Weenie Campbell a year ago on "The Back Porch", this was a professional gig so I posted here this time. Yup! Pete works a treatYeah we had a ball, only played with one other guy that was on washboard and it's my favourite percussion instrument Pages: [1] Go Up
