Battle of the jug bands

I'm on my way out to door to the Cabooze Bar on Minneapolis' west bank. Beginning at 1 o'clock in the afternoon today is the annual Battle of the Jug Bands. I try to attend this event every year. Jug is terrific. The strange instruments used in jug music; zither, kazoos, washboard, string bass, jugs, spoons, jews harp, along with vocals and guitars and other conventional instrumentation, make jug music sometimes almost as innovative as electronic music.
If you're looking for a bearded, fur-bearin' excuse to drink beer and rye whiskey this afternoon, listening to jug, meet me at the Cabooze.
