Skiffle

Skiffle is a musical style that originated in the United States in the late 1950s. It is a blend of jazz, blues, and folk music, often played with homemade or improvised instruments. The most famous example of skiffle is Lonnie Donegan's 1955 hit "Rock Island Line". The style was popularized in Britain by Donegan, who performed skiffle on his popular radio show "Pickin' and Grinnin'". Skiffle's popularity peaked in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and it has since been incorporated into a variety of other genres, including rock, blues, and pop.
