Eddie Page and Lillian Deskin played characters Ma and Pa Quackenbush during the 1940's and shared the stage with a group called the Louisiana Sharecroppers. Ma and Pa were master musicians and between the two they could play over fourteen instruments and every show they brought the house down. Although they weren't real Quackenbush's its very interesting that they chose the name Quackenbush for their characters.
Ma and Pa Quackenbush were also known as the Rural Sophisticates.
