[WoolyBuggerPicker]

Great, but should have tucked your shirt in your pants to cut a more graceful, elegant jib.

[Aplusinskal]

Lovely sound! Are you cross tuned?

[tjsanrn]

A couple of years ago I managed the stage at the Great American Irish Festival (on a saturday) and had the pleasure of meeting this ham both on and off stage...an absolute pleasure! his love for what he was doing was as evident behind stage as on....and he was as humble about it as well....keep dancing brother!!

[nobanjono]

[kfhurst]

He is the personification of joy when he dances! Have had the pleasure of seeing him perform with David Munnelly band at Winfield Bluegrass fest several years - what a treat!

[Nicoleclog]

[cwg1982]

[cwg1982]

Nic you rock!

[ceoljoel]

[redwalnut]

I love the fact that in all of Nic's videos, he is smiling. You cn tell someone loves what they are doing when, even while physically exerting themselves, they are smiling!

[rmstudio]

They made this into the song that is one the Soundtrack for "Cold Mountain" its called "Ruby with the eyes that sparkle" Go back were you came from! Now Git! LoL.

[scotlegranail]

[sis2fngpkr]

Wasn't this song in "Cold Mountain"? It was, "Ruby With The Eyes That Sparkle". I love it. Thanks for the video of these great musicians.

[Lykkjeguten]

You are right, mylady, I´ve noticed it too:)! Pretty much the same tune, but with different names...

[Jorsh123]

It's an old appalacian fiddle tune. Originally called "Shove The Pigs Foot A Little Further Into The Fire" by a fiddler recorded in the 20's and 30's, Marcus Martin. They changed the name for Cold Mountain and added some lyrics. So there ya go.

[sis2fngpkr]

Thanks for the background info,Jorsh123! And thanks to Marcus Martin for recording it so many years ago!

[Jorsh123]

Thats what I do.

[fiddlereliz]

Beautiful!

[dancezilla]

i would love to learn this. its just such a carefree, improv and solo-friendly style of dance. nothing like my style at all. i love it.

[MandolinTory]

Lovin it!
