As the coronavirus finally arrives in Mobile and, most detrimentally to Abe, the Mobile music scene, Abe’s gigs begin to drop.   With more free time on his hands, he travels to Jackson County, Kentucky, to meet fourth-generation serpent-handling preacher Cody Coots, along with his songwriting wife, Cassy Coots. Abe conducts a field recording at their house to capture generations-old songs from the duo. A life-changing friendship begins to take root.  Visit the Alabama Astronaut Podcast website for more content:Alabama Astronaut Podcast website Find us on social, too:Alabama Astronaut FacebookAlabama Astronaut's TwitterAlabama Astronaut Instagram Special thanks this episode goes to: Cody and Cassy CootsProfessor Tom Lewis of UGADave Garrett (of the Psych Peas)
