    Crazy, but as a young Latin girl in elementary school in the south, I watched Hee Haw & it introduced me to these old styles of music. My mom never understood where I found a liking for these, but it's truly from the heart & I love it!

    John T. The playing of the spoons (bones) goes way back in history,. Recorded history places them in Egypt, Rome, China, Greece, Russia. During the crusades armies would "play bones", to alert other troops that the enemy was coming. To Britain, which the Scots-Irish brought to America. A large. majority of the Scots-Irish immigrants moved west into the Appalachia Mountains, they brought the fiddle, guitar and guitar sliding (drone), they incorporated the African American banjo, and African rhythms from the slave populations, and they fused all that together with elements of their tradition Celtic folk music, which formed the basis of the country music genre. They also brought with them the church music from Europe. Those influences and traditions combined with their church music became gospel music, and hymns. Which spread out all through the south, to the black community, they developed a style that infiltrated to their churches, and they shaped it becoming the blues. Elvis Presley had an influence of all of this mountain music, and southern music and developed his own unique style. My family is from the Appalachia Mountains and I grew up listening to country and bluegrass and I am very proud to say that.

      bones seem similar but the playing technique is somewhat different. But then again i always encourage to try as many instruments as possible.

We have some beautiful history here in America. Too bad it's changing so much.

    Blessed… is that silly, having come across your video's? What I enjoy the most outside of the personality that shines through both of your instruments, is the simple goodness. You can go to a headlining concert (and pay a ridiculous price) and get all the 'manufactured' music you like or you can come across Miss. Abby (solo/w friends) and be thoroughly entertained. Apple Pie Goodness. SWEET!

      @@johnivanp Yes I agree with you John. Have you ever seen them in person? My daughter told me that she was not able to get tickets for Abby&Chris's show in Black Mountain NC. She was kidding me. I really enjoyed it👭 and I love them . I have a coffee cup that I brought while I was there. I spent the most money that. And whenever I get home. Make coffee pour it into my cup . My cup had a hairline crack in it. Coffee went all over the table. This was 2/22/2019. My daughter sent email and I have sent 2 emails about my cup. Today is 4/26/2019 .No response from anyone. This makes me sad. Because I feel in love with them. I thought that they cared about their FANS ! BANDS AND GRUPS MAKE IT WITH THE HELP OF FANS. DID THEY GET A VEHICLE TO GET TO CHARLOTTE THIS WEEKEND
      I HOPE SO.
