Abe Partridge, a folk artist from Mobile, Alabama, approaches Ferrill Gibbs, a podcaster from Texas, in mid 2020. With his gigs canceled due to coronavirus, Abe spends time at serpent-handling churches across the Appalachians. He explains to Ferrill how originally, his plan was to paint the oft-ridiculed sect, but while taking in their frenetic services, he began to realize their songs were powerful, and possibly, undocumented. Abe shares audio with Ferrill of a serpent handling preacher who tied Abe's hands with a Gibson guitar strap in a worship service. Also, Ferrill draws a connection to legendary music documentarians, John Avery and Alan Lomax.Visit the website for bonus content!<a href="https://alabamaastronaut.com/">Alabama Astronaut Website</a>And find us on social, too:<a href="https://www.facebook.com/alaastropodcast">Alabama Astronaut Facebook</a><a href="https://twitter.com/Alaastropodcast">Alabama Astronaut's Twitter</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/alaastropodcast/">Alabama Astronaut Instagram</a>Special thanks this episode to: John Nova LomaxAndrew HamblinTaylor Hamblin
