In years to come when critics talk about classic lyrics, they will talk 
about "The Barn Door's Open and the fish are getting out......". Forget 
Dylan, Lennon, Reed and the rest. Washboards rule.

This is a simple song to play, with each note falling on each beat. You 
should have no problems picking up the rhythm.

Anything about THE WASHBOARDS or anything, then e-mail me at

Thank you my little droogies
