Rock Island Line (washboard)

Was researching Lonnie Donegan. He's mentioned in an ep of a wonderful BBC Radio vintage comedy show "Home To Roost" where the TV stops working & dad is outed for his talent when younger, as a wash board player of repute. Wonderful & charming all round. 👏

Excellent and brought back memories of Lonnie Donegan version. Thanks David

I am german and I know this song from a single my Father had - Lonnie Donnegan and the Skiffle Group. I was a kid and I liked it. Then many years later, I discovered this and the meaning became clear to me. But what really is touching is that you show how a song develops from a story, you do a Marvel there!

Thank you for the kind words. I hadn't seen this video in many years… it was fun to revisit.
