WONDERS OF THE WASHBOARD Long-time Floodsters may remember Wallace the Washboard. In one of The Flood's many late-1970s/early '80s configurations, Wallace was a regular. It started when Dave Peyton showed up at a jam session with a washboard to play a raucious rhythm behind some of the band's rowdier numbers.
Everybody thought The Flood's flirtation with washboarding was a thing of the past, until recently when Dr. Jazz Chuck Romine started playing his banjo on the Hoagy Carmichael standard,"Coney Island Washboard Rondelet." What better excuse for re-exploring the band's washboardability?
But new and improved is Wallace II. Zoey, the Flood's staff artist and principal dancer, did some graphics to make this instrument a Flood original. Here are samples of Zoey's magic!

Washboardery
really caught on for a while there with the guys, and Wallace
became a fixture for a season or two, until the old boy literally
fell apart from too many good times. Who can't relate to that?
Business
manager Pamela found a company in Columbus, Ohio, that sells specially
constructed musical washboards (hey, that's another story) and
guys presented it to Dave for his blessing.
