Ad-Lib Skiffle Group (Digging My Potatoes)

After Jen brought out her saw (see Folsom Prison Blues with Saw) her husband John went and got his washtub bass and washboard. Then came the spoons and the bells. We had a skiffle group!

As the warning suggests there are some problems. The lighting was very low so I had to adjust the exposure which makes the image quite grainy. Then there are the bells. Their ever present jingling is rather shrill so I tried to reduce their influence by cutting way back on the treble. It helps but I am afraid their presence is still dominating.
However, I thought the musical atmosphere was worth sharing so I have posted this video with a warning.

Gosh I love Leadbelly...I wish people would do more covers of him! I mean his stuff is public domain now isn't it?

Awesome! I don't care too much about sound and video quality if the song and the feeling are right.

Hello

Lew...

Overlooking the audio-visual anomalies (as instructed),I can certainly feel the enthusiasm and excitement in this musical gathering of family and friends in upstate New York.

Pax,

Max
