Washboard Buskers 'Travelin' Broke'

[@benjamingooch8723]

Nobody's going to comment on the spent shotgun shells on the washboard guy's fingers???? Improvised instruments are the heart of folk music.

[@mycompasstv]

Hey good catch Benjamin and thanks for commenting.

[@marcussalo250]

Honestly I used the shotgun shells cause they hit the bells sooo much easier (for my fingers 😅)

I’ll be honest. I didn’t see them.

During the late 1980s early 1990s in San Francisco we would call these kinds of guys Gutter Pun. Except they'd just come from Seattle to get away from the new Grunge scene and would play guitars with only 3 strings. I'd much rather have listened to something like this, at least it's different. Do they still have Gutter Punks? Were they only a San Francisco thing?

[@mksybr]
