Skiffle 101 (tutorial)

Video by Jenni Gruner
Last night (March 19, 2008) at Craig Morrison's lecture series "The History of British Rock" (held at Café Kats in Montreal) I was asked to give a talk on British skiffle. Following my talk I brought out the necessary instruments to do a "hands on" skiffle demonstration. Craig and I played guitars and volunteers from those in attendance played the tea chest bass and the washboard. We skiffled for about a half hour. Here are some of those moments.....
