Southern Raised Bluegrass Performs "Orange Blossom Special" 

My sentiments EXACTLY

Y’all need to go to the Walnut Valley Festival (Winfield). I felt like such an old fart when I was there! Lots and lots of young people camping and picking, and the competition is tough.

@@sevenandthelittlestmew Where is this festival, near Winfield, B.C. ?

Yea deffiinatly ..its sad the country music industry has went down hill something awful its all pop music with a country accent

@@republican9066 but thankfully there are still alot of great established acts out there like Alison Krauss and Union Station, as well as Rhonda Vincent and the rage just to name two of my favorites

very true!

Robert Lytle: Hot daing yeah.

My old fiddle teacher was like that. Self taught and had good ear

Exactly, and it's even more common than most people realize. I can't read a lick of music but have played guitar in many bar bands over the last 21 years but can also play bass, drums, piano & some mandolin. Fiddle on the other hand has been kicking my butt a little here lately but I'm working on it & am confident I'll add that to my repertoire as well in the future. In the band/musicians circles my experiences have been its way more common to run into self taught musicians that don't read music than those who can read it, especially at bluegrass festivals & such. Ymmv

@@MrMd5555 exactly. Sat down to a piano at age 6. Heard chet Atkins play at age 8 ,said my I got to do that. Grade 5 through ,7 band played Trumpet with the super basics whole single noted music. Can play about any instrument I pick up. However, started learning music theory and basic reading music late in life the back door way. I strongly recommend getting basic paino/ keyboard lessons and knowledge even for ear players. It will make your advancement much easier. I'm retired play my guitars every day. Need to get the piano up and going. And the sax and mandolin just rest in their cases. Perhaps this winter. Too many projects.

You can't play like that if you are not classical trained

Give a listen to Roy Clark and Jimmy Henley performing this tune, it is really great to watch and listen to.

give this version on pedal steel a chance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5VD4LfOOn9I.html

Her smile. I'm in love . . .

Best remark ever

Blister 'n' Burn! Straight Fire Moonshine!

But aside from the bluegrass, Hee Haw was a stupid show.

You know apple pie ain't American right? 😂

@@Ben-cl2co Nope but it sure is delicious!

You did know this ain't country music, right?

Well I'm From the South..well Kinda if you count Southern California but my Mama & Aunt played alot of Country music was we were youngins back when is was GOOD...there is some Good country now but the line gets awful Blurry at time

It’s akin to Older County Music/Appalachian Bluegrass and Folk Rock (but crossed with Classical…Tchaikovsky) It has it’s origins in Scott -Irish Music our ancestors brought to America…90% of modern Country Music has lost those roots.

What a great legacy for you to have that memory

My childhood neighbors played “fiddle” music; this brings good memories. 🙂

Awesome share

That’s so cute!!!

One classic part was Mozart's little night music! Light cavalry .

DrTucsonJim, you stole my comment!😁

No denying it! But you owe it to hear Charlie Daniels rendition. RIP Charlie.

look out charlie!

Wow this blew me away . Talk about a tight band. And what about that fiddle player. GREAT

@@keithmccain4270 And easy to look at too.

Thanks!!

new england has a backwoods culture up north. i'm from one.

Not one single liberal Godless yankee can do this. Our flames of hate and rebellion are only being flamed hirer! Dio Vindice!

Write the Lyrics ifn' ye's Dare. This is Straight Fire Moonshine Music!

That's what I thought about classical music my whole life. You ask anybody at work if they like classical and they look at you like you're an alien. Then you ask them if they likes Star Wars. Guess what! Pretty much any mega famous movie has classical music. But if you listen to it without a movie you can imagine any damn thing you want.

If you really listen the instruments are talking

Shoot, just ask them if they liked Looney Tunes as kids.

For God we have JESUS amen

Tell him the fiddle player is in the hall waiting for him.

Well I'm glad it worked out for you, had you tried that with me it woulda backfired on you, because I would be enjoying that immensely

LOL sounds like something I’d do 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks so much

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!

It is absolutely disgusting how good this is! It's sick! Just kill me now! I'm glad I found this to put on my Apocalyrical Playlist...

As I go on a 5 hour loop...

You should definitely check out a lot of their most recent stuff

@@PeterEvans_music Absolutely! Ever listen to “Home Free”? - - check out their cover of Man of Constant Sorrow.

I’ve been a MADD fan of Home Free, ever since hearing them do “Colder Weather”, around 5 years ago. If they TRIED to do something bad, they would do such a good job at it, that it would be GREAT!

Hopefully that's not too often Pam, but it won't hurt to watch it even when things are going good! Best of luck, and happiness to you Pam., from Minnesota.

Right on Pam. Some of the best in the world. This old man knew Doc Watson, Van Cliburn, Bobby Dylan, Joan Baez. Knew the last two when they were touring with the Rolling Thunder Review. I'd talked Review into booking into Ed Ball's private nature preserve Wakulla Inn. Ball had married into the wealthy Dupont family via his nice and when her very rich uncle wanted to tour Europe during the great Depression Ed was given Dupont's "power of attorney" to exercise while Dupont was on the other side of the pond. Now take a breath. Words he neglected his power of attorney upon his return and Ed Ball awaited his death and acting for him refused to probate Dupont's estate and thus soon became the richest man in Florida. I was lucky enough to have known him and to have fallen in love with Wakulla Springs and spent my third honeymoon in its Inn. I had been put off that the first time Bobby and Joan visited Tallahassee they stayed at the newer and tacky Holiday Inn and made it my business that they'd not make that mistake twice. Nor will I forget Bob's ire when I told him he and Joan were so popular they could have shed themselves of the Rolling Review and have stayed with Ed Ball at the Wakulla Inn perched on top of Wakulla Springs one of the natural wonders of mother Earth. He looked at me with new eyes and said, "the Review is the only world" they knew. I laughed and promised them both I'd be happy to change that for free...I did and the rest is history. Baker

ditto!

Me too

Amish? Just asking... 🤔

@@arcangela.f.v.sontheim_arkhan Nah....But it would be awesome if I was.

Matt's guitar is no slouch either he ceeps up quite well.

According to rumor, it actually did several times. They had to do multiple takes. Rumor also has it that Charlie Daniels' ghost showed up during the recording of this, smiled at Emily (the fiddle player), gave her a thumbs up, and went back to the afterlife.

BTW, the violin technique and musicality is awesome. And I adored the double bass playing too and what a beautiful instrument!

Thank you so much!!!

Not to forget the Billy The Kid Tell Overture...

and a little lick of Vivaldi Love it! I was a classic violinist elementary school thru college and fiddle is almost another instrument entirely!

@@paulsmith5752 You mean William Tell Overture by Rossini?
