The Hokum Scorchers is a duo made up of Lou Reimuller and Amy Crehore (me).
We play blues, rags, jazz, jugband, hokum music from the 1920's-50's.
These songs were recorded in the 1990's. I play mainly washboard, but also a bit of snare drum, national plectrum, tenor banjo. Lou plays a national guitar, national mandolin, guitar banjo, uke and more.......
I am also the painter of Monkey Love, Little Pierrot and Blues Gal paintings.... I started Tickler Ukuleles last year. There is a Tickler Uke t-shirt available on my official art website (amycrehore.com).........my BLOG is Little Hokum Rag (www.amycrehore.blogspot.com)..............................
I had my solo art show, "Dreamgirls and Ukes", at Thinkspace Gallery Feb. 13-March 6, 2009 in Los Angeles. The Hokum Scorchers played on opening night. The show featured 15 new paintings and over a dozen hand-painted and restored vintage ukes.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
Your painted ukes are the bees knees. On a one-to-ten coolness scale, the Tickler Ukulele® is an ELEVEN! Buy as many as you can, since you probably can't afford the beautiful art!
Also ... there's a new Facebook group dedicated to Richmond Music 70's-90's and lots of Daturas pics are starting to surface!
Hope the view out by the crematorium smokestack is still mojodelic and very best wishes on your current DREAMGIRLS & UKES exhibit in L.A. ... that ROCKS!
Well, I got in my Terraplane, ran over my only child...He was just meat in the street,now, baby, you was down Hababa's runnin wild...Thank you, Eugene, Oregon, 2009...
