VIDEO: Is Ray Nutter the Greatest Washboard Player & Designer Ever? You decide...

Ray Nutter of St. Augestine, FL is a giant in the founding of the modern cigar box guitar movement, but his instrument of choice is actually a washboard...  a super sized, insane washboard!  Nutter's creations have been known to contain several cymbals, multiple wood blocks and always more cowbells.  He's also a fantastic player who approaches the homespun percussion in a very prog-rock method.  

Just check out his playing here...

Think you know a better washboard player?  Post them below!
