Folklife: Shapenote, Hula Hoop Construction, and More Buskers

We’ve continued to collect field recordings and interviews at Folklife today, and here are a few more. It’s so exciting to see so many young people busking. The Riley Johnston Folk Stompers are comprised of Riley, a 9 year old fiddle player, and his dad. He was busking so he could buy some legos. I saw this woman with this big hula hoop, and I asked her where she got it, and she said she made it. They just don’t make good hula hoops anymore, so I am also going to totally make a homemade hula hoop. You should too. Hula Hoop Construction HOW-TO below - - along with other field recordings!
