@@solominded -- Pretty much all the 5-string greats, including Sonny Osborne, J.D. Crowe, Ralph Stanley and even Bela Fleck and Tony Trischka, have said they considered Earl the very best at what he did.
@@Casey28027-- Same instrument, different playing style. The late, great Paul Warren was a "hoedown" fiddler, with lots of drone double-stops and "Nashville Shuffle" bowings, but some "bluegrass or country music" fiddlers can acquit themselves equally well playing western swing and/or gypsy jazz using techniques that have more in common with classical violinists -- e.g. "fiddler" Vassar Clements cut an LP with gypsy jazz "violinist" Stéphane Grappelli, without even a trace of "hoedown." IIRC, the great session fiddler Buddy Spicher moonlighted playing violin with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra -- and when my late friend Tex Logan, who'd fiddled as a Blue Grass Boy with with Bill Monroe himself back in the 1950s, played a western swing tune, he sounded entirely different on exactly the same instrument.
@@editorjuno it is completely different thus the difference in the name. If you are calling a fiddle a violin when talking about bluegrass or country music then you don’t know anything about either.
Could not agree with you more. My Grandpa grew up in the 1930s on the family farm and songs like this take me to that era. Rest in peace to all the hard working pioneers.
My wife and I dedicated this song to our pitbull Rosie It was her song when she was alive, we would sing it to her and it made us all so happy. Pit bulls have to have at least a third of a pig about them. Now it reminds us of the best dog we could’ve had and also nearly jerks tears from my eyes Rest In Paradise Hawg dawg
Earl & Lester. Partners. And in almost every partnership, the partners eventually disagree. Lester wanted things to stay the same. Earl wanted to innovate. Result? They split.
