       OLD LINE SKIFFLE
                        MARYLAND, USA

Skiffle has been described as folk music with a beat. A blend of ragtime, folk and blues, the skiffle craze that swept Britain in the fifties inspired thousands of youths to pick up their first guitars, washboards and tea chest basses. Even the Beatles began as a skiffle group-the Quarrymen.
Bandmembers have played with the Peashooters, Steubenville Knights, the Atomics, Blue Moment Jazz, Western Bop and the Boom Boom Cats.
OLSC have appeared at a variety of venues including the Washington Folk Festival, Roots Cafe, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion in Tennessee, Night of 100 Elvises, Iota Club, Half Moon BBQ and the Road Agents weekender in Connecticut.  2005 shows have included the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender, the Rockin' 50s Fest in Green Bay, Wisconsin and a return to the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion..

Just Take Me Home (Hicks)

Well my baby said could I please just take her home
She sick and tired of sitting home all alone
well I went next door just for a sec
I cant believe I didnt come right back
I guess you'd like it if I just took you home

Well I told my gal there was nothing I could do
The next door neighbors daughter was feeling blue
well I went next door just for a sec
I cant believe I didnt come right back
I guess you'd like it if I just took you home

I cant believe I left my baby crying
I cant believe I left my baby blue
I cant believe my babys sitting there crying
whats a loving man really supposed to do?
Its Not Right ( Hicks)

I've been here all night long
I got hugs and kisses for you
Sittin here all night long
wondering if your gonna be true
But then I see you on the street
huggin with every guy you meet
Its not right, its not right, baby alright

I've been sittin here all night long
I gotta lot on my mind
tryin to occupy my self
Just tryin to pass the time
But then I see you on the street
huggin with every guy you meet
Its not right, its not right, baby alright

I've been here sittin here the whole night through
Now I'm oh so blue
Sittin here with you on my mind
Wonderin if your ever gonna be mine
