Contest Fiddle Round

[SteadySkanksta]

She is way hot!

[consuelo1962]

WOW! how old is she? very very talented!!1 Bravo!!

[wrdraper]

Kimber is brilliant. I send this clip out to folks all the time. Also, her bluegrass band, Della Mae rocks--check em out. Would love to hear her and Elana James play a duet...

[65crewcabpw]

Many years ago, the whole Ludiker family did a couple of fundraiser concerts in eastern Washington, and we got to hear Kimber play as a kid (was good then too), as was her brother. He played the bass, just for kicks, by ear, without music or hardly any rehersal. Picked it perfectly. The whole Ludiker family did "In the Mood" which got them a standing, screaming ovation...

[Acadianiste]

wow there is some serious figers combinations there.

[MrFiddlepatch]

Very impressed by her fiddlin.

That's Texas Style at it's Best!

[brya31]

If the ratings werent disabled this would be a 5 star, she is terrific!

[kcirtap2k]

check out her boston based band the broken blossoms, great bluegrass/folk with an amazing ensemble. truly love the them

[bryceman1000]

Thank God that someone is carrying on Jay Dean's legacy. You are awesome. What a chip. Very original and dark. Good for you. Bryce Holtry. Bellingham

[Flanfire]

Kimber is good enough that Dennis lets her sit in but still a little shy when around Dennis, Nug and Brian Beken -- not that she SHOULD be (this according to Dennis a few months back) . but those three boys read each other's minds on stage ... It is like one guy playing three instruments all at the same time (sometimes at least)

[DeafJake]

did she win? because she makes me want to break my fiddle over a chair..I dont thing I will live long enough to get that good :-(

[Epppendorf]

Einfach wunderbar!

:-D

[Fiddleowl]

Lol I have only met Kimber once but she is just as good as JayDean if not better, and I thought JayDean was amazing!

[darthmagnum]

A truly unbelievable left hand - She might wanna consider losing the hat though!

[jakyb0y2]

kimber is awesome, with or without hat

[photog79]

where can I find the sheet music for Bridget's waltz? I love that song.

[Hikini]

I've been watching this girl since she was a toddler. She and her brother are just as talented as their parents. Wonderful to listen to this!

[BlackRaven87]

Great fiddling.

Does anyone know who the guitar player is? He looks like a player I know, Tom Weisgerber. But I can't tell, anyone know?

[KathleenTheDonkey]

Großartig!

[chudwuggie]

I keep coming back to this. She's great.Her left hand is amazing!

[phillaneseventhirty]

You should check out Tony Ludiker

[IncorruptibleTruth]

She's better than her dad.

[dougyfresh04]

Kimber is the best!

[garlandsigns]

WOW looks just her mom!

[phillaneseventhirty]

Did she win?

[blueberryoasis]

fantastic!

[hersieco]

I play...decent banjo,mandolin, guitar and very crude fiddle. She's like a female Mark O. I'm so impressed.....Fiddle on girl... Fiddle on.

[chudwuggie]

I'm totally charmed!

[osgondias]

[mythrev25]

[icemanigloo]

The 2nd piece makes me feel like I'm in Paris.

Those are some awesome fiddle pieces!

[itchymuzik]

This is beautiful playing and has cheered me up no end - 1st class - I'm in love!

[0inorbit0]

Great!

[Defecando]

If anyone knows the title of the waltz she plays for her 2nd song, could you please let me know in reply.

[jlardinois]

Bridget's Waltz...

[Defecando]

thank you

[banjovi1953]

SMOOOOOOTH!!!

[kenplaysviola]

Egg-cellent playing! I know nothing about fiddling

[Burfordfiddler1962]

WOW is right!!! These young lady fiddlers these days just about cause a complete heart melt down! This is awesome! I think I'm going to have to go back to the drawing board and try to play somthing serious for a change on here. I'm not exactly a "scratcher" but I havn't practiced in decades, so sometimes it's like my fingers are "playin in the cracks" or so to speak. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[masavi13]

wow shes really tense

[SuicideMonkey92]

that's not "tenses", thats how fiddle players play.

[phillaneseventhirty]

true thats how we play, and she is at a contest so to be a bit "tense" would be expected.

[celticrose0204]

thats so awesome!!!

[badons21]

sweet!

[fiddlicious62106]

Wow this is an awesome round, kimber! I was actually at the stock show and was there when you played this...i really enjoyed watching you jam in the warmup room...loved the licks in say old man, bridgets waltz was beautiful!

[alfapolaris]

[flatcapper61]

[jlardinois]

The first tune is Say Old Man (a Texas deriviative of Lady's Fancy), and the third tune is Goin' Places.

[flatcapper61]

i dont suppose you know wher you could get the music from not that i could play it like that

[oldbanjoman]

I love watching (listening) to musicians who have a command of their instrument. Great fiddling!

[fidlchik]

Hey Great Stuff - beautiful playing (from Oz!)

[chef4life]

Amazing playing! Superb! Your fingers are amazingly dexterous!!

[beavertoof]

[IrishRose92]

[jlardinois]

The breakdown is "Say Old Man". I don't know the name of the waltz, and the tune of choice is "Goin' Places".

[fiddle4me]

Yeah, I don't know any girls who can play like that!

[eileenmclain]

Could somebody tell me the names of these tunes? Not crazy about the hoedown-too "contesty", but the other 2 are wonderful. Love them

[mariethewerewolf]

I would rate that as Awesome with *****

[LivingDedGrrl]

Very nice! Hey "dad"...I've been hittin' your website lookin' for ideas. I see the apple don't fall far from the tree. Just stay out of Ohio, K? I don't feel like runnin' for my money anytime soon. lol =P j/k You guys are very talented, and you inspire me. 8^)

[SummerRkl]

Thank you for posting that John.

Kimber is hot in more ways than one...

Man, what talent!

[xms32]

good stuff and a better bowing arm then her dad.

[utoob1962]

"dad" here -- I'll try no not be insulted by this comment. by the way, how your bow arm?

[xms32]

Good enough to whoop your butt in a fiddle contest if I were to ever diminish myself low enough to that level. lol.

[FIDLME1]

to xms32 do u have some disability? Tony is like a 4 time national champion. If u don't like his fiddling, than why do u look up fiddling?

[xms32]

I know exactly who Tony is and it was a little more than 4 times that he won. I was just bored and felt like getting a fight going. No serious intentions of harm, just a little fun. And, there were only about 10 people he had to compete against when he won. Now that there are far greater players, he hasn't won in over 10 years. Still decent though.

[fiddlingsam]

Great Great Great stuff Thanks. This drives me crazy. I think I'm going out to the barn and practice more.hey

Sam

[jiji45]
