Metropolitan Jug Band - "Beedle Um Bum" (Wm. S. McNair), Little Theatre on the Bay, Coos Bay, Oregon. Summer 1980. left-to-right: David Dearborn-washboard; Fritz Richmond-jug, washtub bass; David Lightbourne-guitar, vocals; Hugh Frederick-harmonica, vocals; Tom Fitting-dobro.
There is a criminal lack of footage of The Jim Kweskin Jug Band featuring Fritz on Youtube, since most videos chose to focus on Jim or Maria. This video os the first time that I have actually gotten to see Fritz play washtub bass.
