I was looking for a video of spoon playing which might remind me of my grandfather. No luck – lots of choice, but none remotely like grandpa, modern spoon players seem distressingly fond of aggressive t shirts - Granpa was Harris tweed jacket & grey flannel trousers.
I did find two extraordinary examples however.
One old man, in what to my eye looks like a distinctly Caribbean setting, playing a guitar with a spoon.
And Artis the Spoonman, whose fame was previously unknown to me.
Even better, for a realy remarkable souindtrack, play both videos simultaneously.
