I'm a BIG fan of theirs, but have only heard them in recordings. Thanks for the entertaining videoclip, They're just as wacky visually as they are audially.
Meet the 'Hoosier Hot Shots' This group was started by Frank Kettering, base fiddle, with Hezzy on the washboard, Ken, guitar, and Gabe on the clarinet.
Yeah, I was lookin for the hoosiers to but I gotta say these guys are quality stuff, especially the guy with the eyebrows! Good to know my great granparents knew how to have fun to. Hey I think I'd even pay to see'em, well...not as they are now of course! They had a lot more life in 'em when they made this film...RIP guys..I hope you're havin as much fun wherever you are now!
@missweetp Thanks so much for responding even after a long time. Only discovered the Hoosiers thanks to the relatd suggestions facility while watching Red Ingle or Spike Jones and discovering there were other such groups.

I knew the guy that started this group--Frank Kettering, he played base fiddle.
He was drafted during WW-2 and never re-joined the group.
