@6vector6 actually in the twenties the whole jug band craze was a nostalgic thing that was popular at the time... like cannon's stompers and memphis jugband were doing better than most orchestras, so these were probably proffessional musicians being filmed
@busessuck1 Yes, this is spot on. Jug bands were really big, and this isn't music born of depression-era privation. This was shot a full year before the depression. If you're in doubt that these are pros, watch Eddie Thomas's right hand - split strokes and triplets - classic vaudeville uke playing, and they're playing a jazz tune, not what poor folks in rural counties played at the time. The duo isn't poor south at all, they were from Richmond, VA and have city playing skills. Great stuff.
Amazing. I've seen still photos of this performance on the cover of a Columbia CD about Washboard performances, but I had no idea it was from a movie. Thanks so much for sharing it.
What a great share, I loved this, how did you find this great piece of history? Damn they were good, what a great duo and what a yt friend, thanks for the share, that may be me in a few weeks up on the porch with my gutar case open looking for spare change!
I LOVE THIS.
