chubby wise lied about writing this song for 50 years. all one needs to do is check the U.S. pat. office. erivin t rouse copyrighted the music and words long before wise claimed he helped write it in a hotel room with rouse. that fat fuck made a living for decades off another persons work.
Guy is way off about the writing of the song..My neighbor knew Ervin T Rouse personally and he learned the tune directly from him in 1938..He had just wrote it...
@Madbeachbum Chubby was probably the most influential bluegrass fiddler and pretty much set the stage for all bluegrass fiddlers who followed. But... he didn't write OBS. This was a melodie by Ervin Rouse formerly called Florida Blues. At most, Chubby talked Ervin into speeding it up and embellishing it.
Very true, tune's been played to death. In my opinion tho its life is weaker than need be - the lyrics that have been created so far dont have much plop.
Another thing, which you boys illustrate, its not so important the exact form or the terrific cascade of notes out of the instruments, but more important is to make it sound good and have fun. Players enjoy it, audience will too
just learning OBS and wasnt sure what i would do to put my own spin on it. Now, i dont think I will. This song has been 'junked' up enough over the years that my version would be most refreshing if I play it true to the way it was written! (wait til i tell my husband he has to sing!) Thanks guys for an awsome rendition. you've inspired me :)
Not Bed :-)
Keep up the good work !

Closely listen to an Inception dvd made prior to the January 8th Tucson shooting, especially around, "'Do It.'"

For a factual account of who wrote OBS, see a YT video titled "Orange Blossom Special: The Story of a Bluegrass Anthem".
