master of universe

[karalevsen]

Man, this guy can play the fiddle.

[shademonger13]

[ellsman]

This guy is just crazy good. Everytime I see him my jaw falls off.

I'm going to see him live a the Bull Run restaurant in Massachusetts on 8/13. Can't wait.

[Cofffeeguy2000]

[mattygeetarross]

@PuddingnShortbuses Haha!! Ya!

[procarpenter1788]

@PuddingnShortbuses Yeah, maybe if he squints he'll be able to see Michael's cloud of dust, receding in the distance.

[ArkRed1]

Pulls your ol heart right out and stomps that sucker flat. What a soulful fiddle player. Go guy.

[flatpicker1234]

Every night I sit on the couch, get my fiddle out, hold it in my lap and watch this video. There must be something wrong with my fiddle. I show it every night what to do ?

[BOSSNOSS]

@flatpicker1234 this shows how long i have to go. i was feeling good about me just learning how to play marry had a little lamb... i have some practice ahead of me :) maybe i should start making mine watch this video every night as well. let me know how it works out for you.

[Perri31]

@flatpicker1234 Look man, it's simple. Your fiddle is suffering from a non specific identity disorder affecting its ability to comprehend this video. Don't worry though. This condition is treatable. If you sit it in front of videos of other lesser skilled musicians like Mark O' Connor or Chris Thile it will undoubtably gain a new self confidence that there is hope for all fiddles and pick up patterns of behavior that will make it (and you) sound like musical geniuses in no time.

[flatpicker1234]

@Perri31 Thanks! I'm Cured!

[ChristRulz14]

He needs to come to the Tulsa, Oklahoma area and play. I have only seen him on TV before, with his band, Flamekeeper and when he was a part of Rhonda Vincent's group, the Rage. Amazing, amazing talent.

[lhfdfirefighter]

he is a great musician.ive never heard anyone this good

[Hoosiercorporal]

I first heard Michael Cleveland in a band that played at a monthly bluegrass show in my hometown, and you could tell even then, several years ago, that he was something very, VERY special. You're one of a kind, Michael!

[mandolinman20]

[jacobbrumback]

I'm no authority on the fiddle but I am an authority on what I can hear, and I've never heard anyone with as many amazing tricks up their sleeves.  Never mind seeing what you're doing! I saw him and Tom Adams in Gettysburg in 2002 and was awestruck. Truly a keeper of the flame. Blessings!

[gatortison]

He has got to be one of the very best fiddle players of all time. I get to see him in two days at Red White & Bluegrass in Morganton NC... and now I really can't wait!

[abridg20atuncc]

Crap that is good.

[beboobeboo]
