Sorry, but "skiffle" was an abomination.

[FORD]

Yeah, but that's how the Beatles also started. So at least something good came out of it eventually.

[Kristy]

Yeah, like how they stopped playing that shit once they discovered Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Gene Vincent, Richie Valens, and Bill Haley (with or without his Comets).

[FORD]

I'm not even paying attention to the song. I can't stop looking at Jimmy Page - how old was he in this performance, 12, 13? He's so...so wholesome-looking.

Jimmy Page was born in 1944, so he would have been 13 in this performance. And looks like he walked right off the set of Leave It to Beaver.

er, nevermind

Interesting... listening to that skiffle clip I can hear a bit of that in Hot Dog from In Through the Out Door album.
