Coals to Newcastle. Crouching before the mike during halves of the Globetrotters' basketball ballet, Donegan crooks his right knee, pumps his foot convulsively and whangs his guitar, occasionally wrenching his pelvis Elvis-fashion. Most often he sounds like Grand Ole Opry cornball recorded at 33⅓ r.p.m. played at 78. Backing up the young (25) Glasgow-born skiffler are a second guitarist, a two-beat drummer and the best showman of the combo, a red-goateed bass plucker named Mickey Ashman, who twirls his big fiddle, tops the act by rolling on the floor with...
