My Grandpa once made something he called a “Boom-Bah.”
He took a round, covered cookie tin, added a broom handle to the top and bottom and added a cowbell and a bunch of jingle bells all around the edges of the cookie tin.
You would bounce it on the floor to rattle it, and then use a drumstick to beat the thing on the tin and the cowbell. It made quite the racket, and actually took some skill, much like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time. ;)
We kids would get the honor of “playing” that, while he accompanied us on his Concertina, and Mom would play her Accordion.
I miss those simple days...
And yes, I have ALL of my teeth, have never lived in a trailer and did not marry my First Cousin, LOL!
I thank you.
This thread needed more cowbell.
