The real "purists" would bring their own "bucket"...refuse to play the one Preston had, with a clothes line for a string...that wasn't acceptable.

Hadn't seen one for years....thanks, I THINK LOL!

lmao ... glad I could bring back old memories for you lol. The gut bucket along with kazoo and washboard featured heavily in Captain Matchbox. But that only added to their charm and catchy sound. I love it.

Here they are again with "Nagasaki" ... where men all chew tobaccy and women wicky wacky woo
