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.

My family Elkins, and Smeltser came out of Greene County TN

She is absolutely phenomenal. If I could get my kids to return our spoons to the kitchen I just might try again.

She rips. Who is she?

@@bbingtube Abby the spoon lady!!! She has many videos, and a heart of gold. Check her out.

@@JustMe-fh9le 🙏🙏🙏

She's scary

Somebody has to hold the sidewalk down

He gets the biggest cut

Me too😊😊😊😊😊😊

Road crew, resting up to help break it all down after the show.

Absolutely💕

You are absolutely right.

Aw thank you ! I was just reminded of these videos and it makes me so nostalgic!

Annie is amazing.

I can hear Ireland in the music now that you said that.

@@artgamechanger3841 the origins of bluegrass would have come from the earlier scots settlers

Not bad walking sticks either.😁

Then address her with so.e respect there. This ain't the tenderloin. Them thurr the black hills and ya gonna treat her such.

@@johnplain1546 check yourself. There was no DISrespect in what I said.

As is Spoon Lady.

That’s Sarah and she is amazing !! In all ways!

I can.

Absolutely!I'v never seen anyone play them like this&so well!

Grandpa jones

that brought a smile to my face. wonderful! !

I play spoons too, but I’ve never heard anyone play as well as she does, including me!

SirWaltenCrane Her name is Abby, she trying to get teeth money.

they are definitely not all guys

actually there's only one guy, but an interesting factoid is that their mammy and pappy was brutha and sissa,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Lesa Fisher - wow, you're pathetic. Abby is amazing....may the Lord bless you with all that good love you must be known for spreading.

NELSON X 😂😂😂😂😂

That dog is the star of the show!

The dog belongs to the bass player.

Every dog has his day.

@@kennybluet5527 Some dogs that's every day

I thought that about the old guy, who thought enough of them to film, but not show his appreciation.

@Ken Z seems like you had your two cents

Yep

Easy just keep walking

They suck

Robert Slack it’s a hard do’s night.

Dog gone bored. . jk. Lol

he's their manager

all the best groups have a poochie with them, it's a giveaway

Doggone it! He's heard it a million times!

Michael G. Gartman Hell yea its close to the earth! They're sittin on the sidewalk! Cant get much closer!!..lol.....just jaggin ya! It IS down to earth genuine music!

Rolly Polly reminds me of traditional music played in Newfoundland, Canada 🇨🇦. Love it 🥰

"Jimmy In The Swamp" is a Missouri tune, without Old World antecedents.

@@fiddlinshim That told 'em.

Scots

Wow really? 109 thats wonderful

@Rick Harrison Ya never know.

@Rick Harrison There ya go.

Hi Ben. You sure are old. That is awesome! Are you still alive and kicking?

yip she is very pretty. but abby is the star here

Yeah the fiddler has it going on, not because she is 'pretty' but she knows what she is doing with the fiddle.

@@markthatcher6844 being pretty doesn't hurt though.

Meanwhile, the dog is over there chillin.

And the banjo player is all, “F my life.”

+lander4545 Makes me wanna visit.

lander4545 I lived in Boone for 2 years so much beauty of course NC I have loved in for many many years but the Appalachian are gorgeous and I have seen the young kids play like this and it's awesome

I live in South Carolina and this music reminds me of joy, happiness, and home.

Live in Kentucky now...born and reared in North Carolina myself

Dana Hughes isn't Abby great!

@Ken Taylor......That dog was, no doubt, raised in this country music and just lays there and enjoys every minute. This is a country music dog at its finest.

I’m sure we all will be , just maybe not always at the same time in the same place haha

You guys are fantastic! Love it ! Spoon Lady is from the gods

Clapton? He is nothing..she is more like the Hendrix or Duane Allman of spoons.

ABBY is GOD!

When she kicked in with the spoons I was floored.

Je suis guitariste chapeau 👍👍👍🎵🎼🎻🎸👍👋👋👋👋

@@michaelcraig9449 Hendrix had like 3 good hits. Clapton has done more for music then Hendrix ever will

I agree ! I wish we were

Tom McKinnon ii

Hello

Trashcan Troubadour you got there before me,it doesn’t look easy at all,the lady makes it look easy 🙂🙏

The spoons would be so hard to play . And she has it down to an art and science. Made skills.

My home

It's just becoming ungodly busy in Asheville and it's actually hindering the busking scene there now days. It's sad!

Still dig the drum circle every friday

@@ozzy7109 Drum Circle is no more! (for now) AVL has been a ghost town of its former self.

Her spoon playing is great, but it looks like she is in need of a bath.

@@chewee2k those are i do believe tattoos on her legs arms and fingers.

edd2ds I agree she is very good at the spoons and it takes a lot of skill to do the technique that the old-timers did it’s not easy to do it that way the other way you mentioned the more modern ways the easier way to do it

chewee2k Don’t criticize I’m sure there have been times that you needed a bath and nobody said anything to you and Further more. You don’t know her situation tried being in her shoes she could be down and out searching for a place to live because she can’t afford one and trying to find a job at this time and perhaps maybe that’s why she hasn’t had a shower in weeks. Trust me I have been there Where I did not bathe for months Because I could not afford a bar of soap

Chewwe I think there family . And all of them I would say are out there busting there asses trying to make a buck or two. It's out there . More respect her looks has nothing to do with her skill

You're a person who loves music. I dont care if you are purple with green pokadots

Who says white people don't have rhythm. ;-)

In Ireland people also play with rib-bones. The dog should play the bones here - that would get everyone involved. Very enjoyable. Thank you / Go raibh maith agat.

Ms. Abby slamming those spoons.
