Abby the Spoon Lady (one of the few professional musical spoon players in the country) and Banjo Ben perform their outstanding version of the folk-music standard "Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss" in downtown Asheville, NC.

Here's an experiment: Take two standard metal soup spoons. Turn them so that the curved bottoms are facing each other, and place them between your fingers like chopsticks. Now, try to clack them in time with any moderately paced song. It should take you about 45 seconds to begin to appreciate just how good Abby the Spoon Lady is at her profession, and you haven't even done any of the hard stuff yet.

And that's not to dismiss Banjo Ben. Playing any instrument at his level takes years of dedication, practice and passion. Few instruments can be said to be the favorites of folks like Steve Martin and Al Capone, but we can understand if the limelight is stolen for a few moments by a virtuoso performance on clicky-clacky silverware.
