What was Skiffle? I like most forms of music but had to look it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skiffle
I went through my collection and this is one CD.

Re: Things & Music
Skiffle in the 50's was just about anything you wanted it to be.
All manner of home made instruments, anything that would make a noise you liked was the go.
It gave new life to the old wash board as early style washing machines were coming in.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
