this guy asked me to play percussion on his cd today.
i told him yes, though i dont think he will actually follow through with recording.
this guy is named washboard jackson (not his real name) and he plays the washboard as a musical instrument.
pretty dang good i'd say,though most people hate him for his redundancy and his loudness.
he's a good ole boy, with scraggly beard and wide brimmed hat. always wears shirts with the sleeves cut off, even in the middle of the winter.
that boy has gotta temper though. saturday i was walking to this tibetan import store and i sees washboard yelling and screaming at this homeless guy. there were a buncha bouncers and bartenders in a circle watching the whole ordeal, laughing and cheering washboard on. i wanted to stop and see what was happening but i was late for work as it was. turns out that the homeless guy broke into washboards truck and stole his cds. then went to the nearest record store to sell 'em. now what that homeless guy didnt know was that washboard was setting up to play-he's in a authentic blues band called "train reck" and that is really how they sound. a whole bunch a racket thrown together with some sad lyrics in there for good measure-and they were setting up to play in that very record store that the theif went into. sure enough the record store clerk (a good friend of washboards) noticed that it was his cds and alerted him. washboard quickly ran after him, yellin and screamin "stop the thief, stop the thief" to anyone in earshot. soon enough he got all of deep ellum on that poor homeless guy (probably a junkie of some sort), and circled him. as soon as washboard caught up he let him have it. apparently this was the third time his truck has been broken into this year and since this was the only guy who got caught out of those time he was guilty of all of them as far as washboard was concerned. seeing the look on this guys face- after washboard had fully unleashed his fury and frustrations- i think he has had enough of theivery for a while.
