A sample of what has been written about english barn dance bands. A Quotation:-

In strains more exalted the salt-box shall join, ~ And clattering and battering and clapping ~ combine; With a rap and a tap while the hollow side sounds, ~ Up and down leaps the flap, and with rattling rebounds. ~ Bonnell Thornton
