Michael Cleveland in flatpick contest

[fiddlercrab3]

This is incredible—who knew one of my favorite fiddlers was a picker too? Add him to the "scary as hell" list, along with Mark O'Connor.

By the way, what is this tune?

@fiddlercrab3 This tune is Saint Anne's Reel. Great fiddle tune:)

[MrMOreschi]

Brian Allen is great but he eats all my food! Killer was lookin good back then too! Mike is amazing and a fun guy! T.j. Moreschi

Michael is a marvelous musician and one of the kindest and friendliest people I have ever met.

[Gibbzs]

this guy's mandolin playing is insane, go talk to him, he's a great guy and will jam with anyone.

[dodgewaldo]

Brian Allan is an awesome guitar player too

he shoulda been playing along

instead of rhythm

y'all should hear him sometime

[chirfu]

it was a contest he is not allowed... I am sure mike backed him up when it was his turn too!...

[chiwawacsi]

hnssnw, your a legend in your own mind lol.

Michael Cleveland would put strings on you and make music.

[popoaggie]

Mike can play anything. He's killer on fiddle of course. But hot on mandolin and I've heard banjo, too.

[chiwawacsi]

the best hands down in bluegrass. I have spent alot of summmer nights in Henryville Indiana with Michael just having a good time jamming.

[hnksnw]

He's good, but I'm better.

[jblflatpicker]

you ought to hear him fiddle...one of the best in the business!

[putikiexpress]

anyone have a copy of Michael doing "When I close my eyes" with the Rage and Rhonda Vincent on Mountain Stage?

[nomoretees]

love the long could someone tell me the name and who wrote it

[t4kne]

It's Saint Anne's Reel

[jocwalk]

It's just an old fiddle tune. Just about any old-time music site would have the tab for it.

My friends Joe "Killer" Kelmel on bass, Brian Allan on rhythm guitar and the incomparable Michael Cleveland flatpicking. It is great to see them so young and playing so well. All are from Southern Indiana and are great musicians and friends.
