    I almost fell over when Abby started in on the spoons. I'm over 60 and born and raised in the hills of East Tennessee and I've never in my life ever seen or heard anyone play the spoons like that woman.
    I hope she teaches.

      It’s not as easy as it looks. I have played the spoons many times before my hands became crippled with arthritis. I wasn’t SS good as her though.

    Reminiscent of those faraway days, when only farms existed and communities would come together and celebrate the mellow fruitfulness of the season with wine, dance and barn songs.

    Great music. Spoons and fiddle are fantastic. I wish I could hear the banjo and bass better. Also live the dog. He knows he’s clearly in the presence of great music. Finally, the guitar laying on its back makes me worry that someone will step on it. Anyway, I love this style of music. It gets you to tapping your feet and wanting to move.

    Spoon Lady is the star here. The guy with the laptop was going behind her to get a shot of her hands.

      In Ireland people also play with rib-bones.
      The dog should play the bones here - that would get everyone involved.
      Very enjoyable.
