Clifftop 2011 Fiddle Champion John Showman of Toronto

[LostintheHoller]

It was so obvious like halfway through this song that he took 1st place.

@LostintheHoller Yes it was. The videos do not do the performance justice. People were just standing around shaking their heads when he finished. Awesome to have been there.

[moonshineV]

@SweetBeaverSuite John, what's the name of this tune? I understood the other piece was AS' devil on a stump.
