    I love playing the spoons, I was taught by a fellow waitress while I was waitressing in Halpins in Cork. Once I was searched at the airport and they asked me what the two silver soup spoons were doing in my handbag. I replied 'they're for percussion' and the security guy said 'prove it'.. and so I played a spoon solo at customs.

    As a professional chef who has experienced much high-level fine dining, spoons have been my most important tools for the past many years. I think the spoon you highlighted as a poor choice for playing was from the same Oneida set that I own and love for cooking. I never pursued music despite it being deeply entrenched in my soul, and I've tried to learn spoons before but this video was amazingly informative and for the first time I now understand the basics of spoonery.

    That was real cool. I'm by no means from a geographical area that would have me listening or eager to learn how to play the spoons. I'm from Brooklyn Ny. However, I had an uncle Abe who played the spoons once in awhile, when we visited my mother sister Lorraine. I used to look forward to our visits, just to watch him perform. That was 40 years ago, yet it has still stuck with me. Today I had a few relatives over and we had our young children sitting around us while we listened to some folk Christmas music. There's no particular reason why a folk song was playing... just by chance. Anyway- I was feeling goofy so I grabbed two spoons joking around, and I began to play them. Having no clue how to do it, Tommy Ken amazement, I was killing it. I must have watched closely and picked it up. So funny. Anyway, that inspired me to look to see if I was indeed doing it correctly. Sure enough, I was. I think I may practice a little and surprise everyone for my Christmas Eve family party.
    Merry Christmas Everyone- and a very happy and healthy new year as well.
    Tom.

    Thank you so much for sharing this talent. My Appalachian roots are growing! Never thought I'd be able to do this. I'm still on baby steps, but I appreciate the patience and general knowledge you share in vid. You make it easy to follow and grasp (pun intended) the concept. Easier than chop sticks! (Still don't have that knack.) Taking time to explain each step. Thanks again, this will be hanging out in my Library for long time now.🥄🥄

    Wow!!! So very much enjoyed watching and listening to this. A very good friend of mine, who is now sadly deceased, used to enjoy playing the spoons. Her entire family was musical and they'd play together. As friends, our group would always try to get Mary to get her spoons out and play, and then teach us how to do it. She'd laugh and laugh, then finally get her spoons out and show us....mostly her "fancy" moves, designed to impress the kids, and she'd laugh and laugh!!! God bless Mary and may she forever rest in peace with her favorite set of spoons!! Thank you for this wonderful video and you can bet that I'll be trying this out!!!
