Washburn spoke on April 2012. She begins by talking about going to China to study law. She wound up, though, going to Nashville and becoming a banjo player and singer. She combined the two and shares some of this in this amazing talk:

I first heard about this remarkable woman on NPR in 2005: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4840756&ps=rs Here's another interview with her from 2008: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92406350 . Each of the NPR pages have audio stories that are worth hearing.

PBS also interviewed her:http://www.pbs.org/arts/gallery/quick-hits-abigail-washburn-music-video/01-washburn-interview/

Hi Friends,

I was catching up on TED talks when I saw this one. Maybe it was jet lag, but a tear or two came to my eyes. Hope you are all well.
