Over the years in sessions when I`ve left my spoons on the table while I've played my concertina somebody has always picked them up and had a go at them. They seem to think that they are not an instrument, just two spoons and don`t even ask. You may think me crazy but I KNOW when someone has played my spoons (or not). They just feel different and they are every bit as important as my concertina or my fiddle. Now I just put them in my handbag instead....
