Mori Music Finds: Jo Ann Smith

Today's Mori Music Find is another small YouTuber, Jo Ann Smith. This amazingly talented musician plays mainly traditional folk tunes on a more obscure instrument, the autoharp. This instrument is very interesting, and hard to play well, but she really makes it look easy and plays any song flawlessly. I discovered her purely by accident while looking up information on a totally different instrument, but she was such a wonderful find that I subscribed to her channel and keep coming back for more!
