What a great story teller, and fiddler to top it off. I really appreciate that he doesn't play it in the conventional ways, but still gets a good sound. It inspires me to let go of my Classical grip, and embrace some different fiddling methods.
This guy's so much fun to listen to when speaking and playing.. and I love how his jaw moves while he's playing!
It’s easy when you’re a natural!! Great sound!!!
That's the great thing about playing music, it's an element you can carry with you your whole life.
Thank you for posting. Priceless knowledge from an even more priceless old timer.
Wow. Great find!

Interesting video..A real character !!

Oh you lucky poop. My school only does marching band. Woodwind, brass, and percussion. They think strings are a discrace.
I'm a classical violinist who also likes country fiddling. I have a minor question. For those fiddlers - and this includes traditioanal Indian violinists - who don't place the fiddle anywhere near the chin, shoulder or collar bone - why bother to keep the chinrest on? Just habit or tradition?
Even if you do not use the chinrest, by leaving it on, you protect the fiddle itself from being scratched by loose bows and other stuff that you might have packed in your fiddle case...
it surely is a subjective thing, huh?!
