Re: Now For Something COMPLETELY Different

Bill that is MAGIC  I love the sound those two make.  Chris Rodrigues and Abby Roach work well together. Abby The Spoon lady life story would make a great film or book.
Abby first started street performing and busking as a means to make money traveling across the United States, primarily hopping freight trains. She taught herself to play the spoons and traveled all over the United States by hitchhiking and railroad. Today she hosts storytelling events where she discusses the lifestyle of the American hobo. She spent a good amount of her time traveling recording the stories, interviews and songs of other American travelers.
Abby is an advocate for street performance and free speech. In 2014 she was instrumental in developing a group called the Asheville Buskers Collective which advocates for street performance within the city of Asheville, North Carolina. Today she records buskers through a project called Busker Broadcast, and records interviews and songs of travelers passing through Asheville.
It is very early Sunday morning here and those  two have started my Sunday good with the  words of that song they sing.

I know, I know I've been changed
I, I know I've been changed lord and I know
I know I've been changed
the angels in heaven done signed my name
the angels in heaven done signed my name

Thank you Bill
Love to you and Dondra

Re: Now For Something COMPLETELY Different

Pete, dear friend, I am glad you enjoyed the clip. You know when you really "turn loose" with your voice, you sound  lot  like Chris Rodrigues! I'd like to hear you do a cover sometime.

Thanks for the back story on Abby - she's been through some rough times and there is an interview with her as she's busking away on a street corner. Just put it in the YT search engine.

Thanks also to the rest of you for the comments! You'll see that dog in a few other vids. Someone said that if you're making music with a dog present, you know there's something "special" happening.

Jim, it's great to be appreciated - thank you.

i thought she'd never ring that bell for the second time....magic

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Now For Something COMPLETELY Different

Cheers Bill when I get myself a bit more together I might give a cover of that song a go.        Anyone who is good with metalwork Abby is looking for some advice on how to get her  bells fixed video attached with her explaining the bell maintenance problem.

Re: Now For Something COMPLETELY Different

Good one, Bill ...

Reminds me of some of the "Steve 'n' Seagulls" covers of metal tunes, as well as "The Burns Brothers Run C&W". Here's a version of Zeppelin's "Black Dog" most of us never would've imagined ... and it actually works:
