   About Hardscrabble
HARDSCRABBLE is a jugless jug band based in Chicago. They can't afford a jug, much less a jug player. (The jug players are all union nowadays anyway.) Hardscrabble plays musical styles from the 1920s and 30s, including ragtime, old-time gospel, viper songs, western swing, and a little calypso.

Something new from Fritz Richmond

The late jug master (1939-2005) plays some of the spookiest tones ever on the previously unreleased "Visiting Day." Recorded by the Jailhouse Jug Band, the tune is currently spotlighted on the Jug Bandolier player.

So I guess you're supposed to put a filter in a coffee maker before you turn it on LOL!

Now that I've cleaned up that mess, I thought you might be interested in new recordings from our session last Sunday. Check 'em out if you're so inclined. Don't cost nothin'!

Thanks for the add! And Lawrence, if you haven't figured out the secret identity of the BatRand, think of Colorado, early 80's and the Screaming Misfits (and pssst I'm not Jean!)

Thanks for adding me! Please stop by my Web site, subscribe to my MySpace writing blog, or visit my LiveJournal, else El Shaitan will be forced to use his CLAWS OF TERROR.

It's all good.
