No doubt! 
 
 I actually found her list a tiny bit jarring...what  would have seemed to 
flow a bit better for me would have been substituting  washboard for boombox 
(you don't really 'make' music on a boombox for the most  part, do you?...rather 
listen to mostly loud music on it).
 
..since the idea seemed a reference to how people have made music  using what 
was at hand, or with the most basic 'folk' instrument such as a  
harmonica...and in that case a fiddle would have fit too.  But listing them  as:
 
"a pair of wooden spoons on an oil drum with cello, washboard, harmonica,  
voice."
 
just works so much better for me, lol.  (I know...how dare I even  think 
about rewriting another poet's words)....
 
...anyway, I was thrilled by the inclusion of harmonica,  regardless...and if 
you think about it, Michael, the voice is/can be such a huge  and powerful 
'instrument'...so being referenced ahead of voice is still a  major step up for 
our wee instrument <G>
 
just my farthing's worth ;)

I caught it:
Harmonica wasn't last but it was  well after wooden spoons!

"Someone is trying to make music somewhere with  a pair of wooden spoons on 
an oil drum with cello, boom box, harmonica,  voice."

These quintets will be popping up all over America  soon
