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 such as Ken Kesey's events.

"Let Me Play With Your Poodle" by Hudson Woodbridge (a.k.a. Tampa Red) 1942. 

On this cut, the Hokum Scorchers both sing and Lou plays the National Guitar.

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."
