Johnson Mountain Boys-Orange Blossom Special

[oodoodanoo]

I love the note at 2:52. Even Eddie seems moved by his own playing.

Thank you, sclawman! I heard this years ago. Floored. I never thought I'd be able to see it, too!

There's fiddle playin' and then there's FIDDLE PLAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is truly brilliant!!!!...i've loved it for years.

[TruegrassBoy]

Nice! And I like Eddie's version a lot! Vintage JMB.

[tjnoff]

Eddie's been fiddlin' for a long time! Those of us who were his classmates used to hear him play Pop Goes the Weasel during assemblies in the all-purpose room at Rosemont Elementary School in Gaithersburg, MD in the late '60's. The Johnson Mountain Boys probably had their genesis at Gaithersburg High School (maybe even at Gaithersburg Junior High) in the '70's with Eddie, Elsworth Briggs (GHS band teacher), Dr. Wayne Busbice (GJHS principal) and maybe one or two others. Always enjoyed him!

Awesome

As Eddie himself would say, "Are there any questions?...there better not be, but if so, give me a call & let's talk about it." (not his words, my words echoing his view on absolutely top shelf.!) He uses the above when he plays great cuts on his WSM show. Only once have I ever heard a JMB song on his show, & that was a request. A very humble man. We need more old school musicians/DJs like him, but they'd be hard pressed to beat Eddie & his talent/old country tastes/knowledge!

he rocked it

Eddie, it was a real pleasure meeting you briefly at the 2010 IBMA awards. A dream come true for me. And you were talking to Darrin Vincent, (I didn't realize that at the time) but after his performance he informed me they were looking for uptempo songs to record and so I wrote one for them the following day and pitched to the group already. It's called "GOD" TO LOVE IT". Anyhoo, hopefully our paths will cross again, it would be an honor SIR. Thanks for being you - inspirational
