In the 1990's, Amy Crehore played in a band called the "Hokum Scorchers" with Lou Reimuller (creator of
Teenar Girl Guitar). Here she is with a washboard and Lou is playing his Style 0 1933 National guitar.
They played blues, rags and hokum music from the 1920's-1950's at Bumbershoot,
the Seattle Folk Festival and other NW venues.
This music player will be updated with a different Hokum Scorchers' song periodically:
Listen to "Don't Wake it Up" (original song done by the Mississippi Sheiks in 1931)
This is the Hokum Scorcher's version from their "Feed the Kitty" tape of 1992.

In the 1980's, Amy Crehore published a comic book called "Boys and Girls Grow Up" with Tom Campagnoli in Richmond, VA. There
were five issues (1981-1985) - distributed by Last Gasp. Shown here are the front covers by Amy Crehore of "Boys and Girls
Grow Up" numbers 4 and 5.
Peter Bagge review in WEIRDO #13: "A bunch of friends get together and say, 'Let's make a comic book', and what a great comic
book! This is REAL folk art, folks, edited by Tom Campagnoli and Amy Crehore, who did the beautiful color covers."
