I busted for 25 years, eventually come to the conclusion that most people are indifferent to music, as is evident with the passerbys. But cool people with good souls take time out to appreciate.

Talent abounds here. My word!!

I just stumbled across this, and how cool is it to see PB back at Wuxtry. Wish I was there.

Everything made sense except for the clarinet... Until he actually played, holy shit that was perfect.

I happened upon these guys playing on Frenchman Street (Nola) back in 2014. I've never been so affected by music before or since. My mouth was literally agape and I couldn't have imagined that I could be so 'amazed' by an artistic performance. Just wow. I still vividly recall one of the songs which may be called "Take A Look At That, Baby" - just so much fun. I don't doubt, the best ragtime group in the USA.

Beutiful!

Still come back and watch this video every so often after many many years. I love that line "I'd rather be locked in a cage with a tiger than stuck in this town with you" lol

Saw the washboard guy with another group. Blair Street Mugwumps

Great to see/hear JL flyin’

J'aime beaucoup. Merci.

Her voice is so right for this music. Wow!

The best washboard player ever. That rhythm, wow.

Superb!

I love the revolver on the side of the washboard.

this is good

good

They were fabulous ...saw them on the streets of NOLA about 2 years ago...great entertainment...:)

Good quality sound recording; a street scene ain't no studio, but the sound is A-1. Thanks for uploading.

WTF

the dude on washboard is insane !!!!!!!!!

Come to Tupelo!

the dog was even itchin to the beat @ 4:18.......love it!!

Awesome! Ms. Franck is so talented! Thanks for sharing, Sam!

By far the best washboard player I've ever heard. As a washboard player myself I'd give my fuckin front teeth to be able to play like this guy. Brilliant. Gonna have to make my way down to nola one of these days. Really is perhaps one of if not the only place you can just walk down the street and hear any amount of rag time music, much less ragtime played this well.Great post. Cheers from way up north.

is the first song an original?

I believe that the clarinet player is James Evans. Joe Faison (banjo) is the only person that could have added to the sound of this great band. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO THE HARMONICA PLAYER IS???

The fiddle player is "Lulu" who played with the G String Orchestra in 2008 and went to Tuba Skinny in April 2009 and stayed all of 2009. I don't know who she was with in 2011 when this video was made.

I think that this five piece is the very best sound that Jason Lawrence (reso guitar) ever got out of any of the many bands he assembled. His guitar playing is unmatched anywhere. It's to bad that he has never been able to keep any band together for very long. I see that he has been playing with Tuba Skinny for a while but did not go out of country with them. I hope he has found a home with them.

2:45 click for amazing solo

can i get this on iTunes

pure talent :)

These guys are hot. Too bad the passing crowd seems to not get that.

never seen anyone play a wash board as amazing as him. lol. he's perfect

great raw music its the way it ment to be love it

Helllllls yeah!!! Soooooo gooood! : )

He listens to a lot of British artists and over time he picked up an accent. He doesn't act British, it's just something he developed.

I've loved him for a very very long time now, and when I saw that he had a falling whistle I almost peed my pants!<3

lovin' that washboad solo, unh hun play that thang jobydiah!

That is one badass washboard player.

Clarinet Guy is pretty good at this... wow.

me gusta y me agita , que bien , todos son virtuosos . .

He talks in a british accent too, I think he has talent, but he's not original and you can see through it. He's more like an imitation of famous artists.

@sarcasmswitch I noticed,too.(:

why does he act British?

This is phenomenal, by the way.

@CharlesAnthonyP it's a song called "I'd Rather Be"
