This is beautiful.

Maybelle Carter probably did more to make country music what it is than just about anyone else. She originated the style of guitar playing that has become the standard in country music, and she took an instrument—the autoharp—that was designed only for strumming chords and she turned it into something that could play melody and rhythm and exciting music. And she wasn't a half bad singer, either!

@DollyPorterfan Not true. We play the Carter Family on a regular basis at our shows. Mother Maybelle is one of my heroes, a great musician and person. I play auto harp, guitar, harmonica, slide guitar, etc. Come to a show and I'll play you a Carter Family tune or Jimmie Rodgers song for that matter any old time, it would be my sincere pleasure!!

The queen of the autoharp. No one played it better.

_A three chord song. ~ F, C and G. ` ☺_

At some of the 'fiddler conventions' I've recently attended, the young kids all play banjos, mandolins, fiddles and guitars, but I've not seen any autoharps played by young OR old. Is this because it is hard to play, or because there are not many autoharps/autoharp teachers around? Just curious?

@MsJollycholly no it dosent and not the zither either which is different
-
I love this song.
-
does the 'autoharp' have other names?

Ma-Maybelle mastered this instrument, and no one can play the autoharp like she can. I love to hear her play it! Ma-Maybelle taught Earl Scruggs her style of pickin! This music is the best in the world! No doubt a lost art with all the push button, no-brains, grossly boring redundant electronic, no creativity essence of music we have today. Young folks nowadays can't even play an instrument at all. So sad........
