Dutch Dickens - World Champion Texas Fiddler

[82groovn]

I once saw Dutch Dickens reharmonize an entire Mark O Connor album, while pleasuring 4 Mexican, midget paraplegics.. And eating a turkey leg ...mother fucker is legit.

[bmcclara]

I am a Texas fiddler that has lost many a fiddle contest to Dutch....the only feat more astonishing than his fiddle playing is the number of women he has impregnated!

[sandypoint63]

the kid's hot, I mean he's flat on fire.

[MrFiddler93]

This has to be a joke. How could he be the junior champ in 1981 AND 2006? He's better at his fake math than he is fiddling. I know he didn't win any division in 2006 because I was there

[travistoy]

I once saw Dutch eat a large pizza in one bite.

[mshartz]

I saw Dutch playin in Forest City, Iowa for a motor coach convention in the early 90's. He was playin a new song he had just written called " Daddy Get Off Me, You're Crushin My Smokes." There wasn't a dry eye in the room, in fact I was so mesmerized by Dutch's mastery of the fiddle that I chartered the Iowa chapter of the Dutch Dickens Fan Club. When you comin' back up to Iowa Dutch? Ps- My grandma thinks you're hot.

[chank70]

I once saw three supermodels hand feed 27 egg rolls to Dutch while he flawlessly played "Sally Goodin" in the key of A flat. Orville Redenbacher's cousin was there listening & was so touched that he couldn't stop crying.

[travistoy]

I once saw Dutch play a gig at a TGI Fridays. He was scheduled for 4 hours. After 25 minutes he stood up, walked to the bar, shit in a lady's martini glass, walked out the front door and lit the place on fire. He stood in the parking lot and played a stunning version of "Westphalia Waltz" while it burned to the ground. He left there and bought a pet monkey that he still has to this day.

[phidler]

I was at a fiddle contest a few years ago when I first heard the name "Dutch". I asked who he was. Then a friend brought me to a jam he was in. He played so fast, I felt like my eyes were gonna pop out just seeing the guy. After the jam I asked him if he would just touch the hem of my garmet and maybe I would play half as fast as him. He put his hand on my shoulder. I still can't play as fast as ol Dutch, but I did get a lot of looks from the ladies that night. I'm sure they were looking at him

[travistoy]

I once saw Dutch fight a Mexican street gang with just a bow and some dried up rosin. He defeated 45-50 of them, paused for a moment, played the most incredible version of "Tennessee Waltz" I've ever heard, then ate a football that a small child had dropped during the mayhem.

[chank70]

I once heard Mark O'Connor say, "I am afraid of Dutch Dickens"

[travistoy]

After all this time, this video still blows me away. Dutch makes all other fiddle players sound like they play for tips outside of Taco Bell.

[procarpenter1788]

I think his all time greatest album is "Shove That Pig's Foot a Little Farther in the Fire" Pure fiddle gold right there.

[MrLazymexican]

you lying bitch

[MrFiddler93]

If you claim that you are a great fiddle player then why would you post something like that? Is this supposed to be a joke because I've never heard of you.

[rhjenkins]

I think I get it. This is satire, right?

[rappinfiddler]

haha...dutch who?....sorry i wasnt impressed with your playing...nothing tech about it.

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

Can't believe this slimy little bus station cocksucker is still on here. What a queerdog fagot.

[mycatiscool52]

Haha Dickens.

[donnyaldridge]

This guy is the most bad ass fiddler on the planet.......

[mikecalzone]

In what world are you a champion fiddle player?

[ejfan1]

you guys need to buy "daddys been drinkin again" one of the best albums from dutch, in my opinion. The licks he used in there tore my face off. great stuff.

[ReallyMavisRiely]

wold champion. Is that the same as the world series ?

[voxtacet]

lmao! that's hilarious!

[BanJoeFace]

Who this loser...Dutch Dickhead? He horrible! He no champion fiddle. My taint can play better fiddle.

[ejfan1]

those crazy asians, when will they ever learn.

[FiddleTits]

Wow! I had to listen to it again...Mark O' who? Give us some more that good stuff, Dutch! Dammit!

[FiddleTits]

What can I say...Dutch, you still got it! "Biscuit In A Woodpile" made me want to start playing fiddle! "Mama Don't Churn No Butter" is probably my all time favorite though. I've got a bootleg copy of it. I don't believe it was ever released on vinyl.

[ejfan1]

hahahahahahahah this is awesome, nice job trav. i think some of that acoustic might of been just as good as "ole dutch" on the fiddle. but who am i to question the great works of "dutch dickens" haha

[GusBusCarnival]

sounds like a chicken scratching. this guy just wishes he was in o'connors league!

[BanjoBen1]

Other than Charlie Daniels, I personally don't know of another fiddle player that can hang....

I like his slogan on Dutch's website:

Dutch Dickens-Epitome of technique, Player of all that's good.

Also: Dutch Dickens-Friend of few, Mentor of millions

[chank70]

I bought Dutch's, "Chicken Let The Hogs Out" CD at a festival a couple weeks ago. VERY good stuff. Money well-spent. Keep on swingin', Dutch.

[maxandpunk]

Listen....I think I can bring a little clarity to this conversation. Fact: I have played with Johnny Gimble,Mark O'Conner and buddy Spicher. If you combine all the talents of these legendary players it does not equal the talent that Dutch possesses in his left pinky toe. Dutch makes all of these incredible fiddlers look like a bunch of no talent ass clowns.

[travistoy]

By the way, Benny Thomasson is one the best Texas fiddlers EVER. He taught Mark O'Connor how to swing. Unfortunately for both of them, Dutch makes them both sound like the guy that plays for Dave Matthews Band.

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

Cheese steaks are from Philly dickhead. Just used the name cause I was up there a few weeks ago and ate at the best. None of that Pats or Genos tourist crap. So Dutch is better than Benny Thomasson huh? Well you just showed the whole fiddling world what a fake you are. No more posts for you. Go take care of your valentine. Ol' Rosie Palm. And keep sawing the hand cart rag. Try the left hand polka. Maybe you;ll think you're with a real woman for a change. Johnny Gimble-does he play bahhouses?

[travistoy]

So I guess that's a no to posting a video of your playing? You're the one doing the name calling, and I'm the one with fiddle players backing me up. Hmmm...

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

Little TRAVIS & Kevin can realy talk some sheet. Come on down to TX anytime and I'll show you some real TX fiddling. Might let you touch my trophies. But no maggots get to touch pictures of me and Benny, Major, EJ Hopkins, Russell Wise{that's Chubby to you tourists, the Soloman Brothers, and too many others to waste time on with internet punks. Got to meet Howdy at Vernon's house one time , but no picture.

Oh-You might check fischer price website. Get you a plastic axe to play. HAR HAR HAR!!!!!

[travistoy]

Seems like you're the one talking shit. All I've been doing is pointing out what a lot of people would agree with, that Dutch makes all of the guys you just listed sound like Doug Kershaw on a bad night. Feel free to post a video of yourself playing, since you're apparently such a badass. I've been in Texas, and played in Texas. Played for the governor in Austin with Johnny Gimble, but I didn't see anybody eating a cheese steak...

[kevinarrowsmith]

This Steve princess guy sounds like a fucking moron! I live in Nashville and last time I checked neither Castro brother were living here. Second, I am a fiddler and no one has been more influential in my career than Dutch (he would whoop Steve Princess' ass) Dickens. C: Thank you Travis for fightin' the good fight against people who obviously don't know shit.

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

Might as well be Cuba. You make as much sense as that little maggot brother of your's Castro. Better get off before your mommy comes home and spanks you. Everyone knows this is just a joke thread. Say howdy to Raul when you see him.lol

[travistoy]

You come in here like you're some sort of expert on fiddling, and I bet you've never even touched one. It's like claiming to be an expert on swimming, but being too afraid to step into a pool. I'll tell you what, you go enjoy some more sub par cheese steaks (Geno's is the best), and I'll continue to present the facts. Dutch's playing is like an earthquake, wrapped in a hurricane, nestled in a box of tsunamis. It's simply a force of nature that no other player will ever be able to deal with.

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

This guy is a joke. And even mentioning Terry Morris is sacrilegious. Terry was a true phenom. Ask Mark OConner, Byron Berline, or any of the true great TX fiddlers. I played against Terry many times in 70's. This clown couldn't rosin his bow.

[travistoy]

stevesprinceofsteaks, just be glad you didn't have to play against Dutch in the 70's. Even as a child his playing was already legendary, and compared to him you would have sounded like an untalented, weak little boy. Stick to commenting on things you actually know something about. You are right about one thing though, Terry Morris was great. He was the best...until Dutch smoked his ass.

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

Yeah-you're 28 and talking about Terry. Grow up. The Eighter from Decatur was the man. So was his brother Dale. He still teaches in Boyd. but yo would have no idea where that is being a Yankee.lol

[travistoy]

Firstly, I didn't say Terry wasn't great. Ostinelli's Hornpipe on the Eighter from Decatur record kicks ass. Let's get that out of the way right now. With that said, Dutch's version of that same tune on his "Chicken Let The Hogs Out" album, made Terry's version sound like he was using the Suzuki method. P.S. - Nashville isn't yankee country, unless you're from fucking Cuba, DUMBASS.

[ejfan1]

killer playing on that fast stuff man, really clean and melodical. I actually won the (junior division ) Old Time Fiddling Competition in 1985, im surprised i didn't see you there. keep up the good work, guys like mark O'conner can learn a thing or two from you man.

[acefiddle]

If ANY of you know TEXAS fiddlin, than you will know who TERRY MORRIS was!!!!!! TRUE?

[MontanaFiddler]

Terry couldn't touch Dutch Dickens.

[travistoy]

Exactly.

[MontanaFiddler]

LOL, whats goin on Travis.

[acefiddle]

No kiddin huh? Could you guys send me some of dutchs fiddlin, or where can i hear him. Sorry but i wasnt to impressed by this version of (whatever).Thanks

[MontanaFiddler]

ace, its a joke. this video is all in fun. have a great day.

[westvirginiawonder]

what a retard

[chank70]

I added this to my favorites because it makes me happy to be alive

[travistoy]

graywolf, if you've never heard of Dutch then YOU are an idiot. Anybody who knows anything about Texas fiddling is, or has been a fan and student of Dutch since he burst onto the scene in the 80's. Do your homework. You ain't shit compared to the legend.

[graywolflmr]

Sorry DD but i've been a Texas Fiddler all my life and have never heard of you. That song you played sounds like my ass when I've got diarhea.

[dayfber]

Hey Graywolf. I'm a 110% with you. Never heard of this clown.

[chank70]

Thank you, Dutch, for teaching me how to play the fiddle. You are my God. WWDD

[xms32]

FINALLY!!!!!The legendary Dutch Dickens. Where the hell you been man? You are without a doubt the very best of the crapp.....er...I mean the very best of the best there is. Nice bus by the way.

[travistoy]

That truely is Texas style fiddle playing at it's best. When a professional gets his mitts on a tune, that's when it really takes off.
