Serving Up Some Hambone (The Claire Lynch Band)

            Mark Schatz (second from right) is serving up some "hambone" during the Claire Lynch Band's rendition of "Buttermilk Road" during their performance at the Hunter Mill Melodies outdoor summer concert series at Frying Pan Park Farm in Herndon, Virginia on August 6, 2015. Accompanied by Claire Lynch (far left -vocals), Bryan McDowell (second from left - fiddle) and Jarod Walker (far right -guitar).

Hambone is a rhythmic knee and chest slapping motion; your body serves as the instrument to make your own music by slapping your "hambone" (outer thigh) [1] then your chest [2] and your inner thigh (or top thigh) [3] on the way back down to make a 3 beat rhythm. 

This rhythm was popular among Afro-Americans during slave times. At times it is accompanied by instruments, such as the fiddle or whatever could be attained during hard times.
