Isn't it fascinating the things that people discover to DO and accomplish, while I'm just sorta here with books and dishes and blog posts and Chillun.
We DID have homemade instruments in my Mammaw's family, in the early years of last century. A washboard, a big washtub with a long pole and a string, strummed like a bass fiddle. There were several 'shine' jugs for keeping rhythm, and a big matchbox of beans for shaking.
But this one, with the vocal instruments---amazing and magical.
Thank you for dropping in.
And I would love to be mouse-in-the-corner when your literary group meets for poetry and prose. I DO love those meetings and declamations and orations.

Amazingly beautiful. And these guys have been doing it since 1999 yet somehow have escaped my attention. Thanks for fixing that!
ReplyDeleteTears for sure, but good tears. I had never heard of them either, so thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteOrdered, received, and just listened to their Christmas album. A thing of beauty! Thanks for expanding my world once again.
