Great fiddlin' and a good story to go with it. Nearly 2 years into old time fiddling myself and, it's fair to say, pretty obsessed.

Good to hear you play! I am from greenup co. too 77 years ago.

[rjelliott13]

Wow! you really "got it" when it comes to fiddling! Excellent!

[phill903]

[BaoYili]

My dad and grandfather were from Greenup, and it is truly a pleasure for me to hear you playing the kind of music they grew up with and I have come to love. I hope you cut a cd someday.

Sweet!! Are you using AEAE tuning?

[kathshan]

Great job on this tune Michael. I really enjoyed your fiddle class at Cowan Creek Music School this year and am still working on the tunes we covered in class.

[hayouni1968]

listen to me folks, i have a totally diffrent culture from yours, but country music is my favorite. Can't tell why

[genmama1955]

Any time you walk past that fiddle pick it up and play something, just keep working on it. You're reqaly good. It's important to keep the old traditions alive. I'm not from Appalachia but I have a lot of the songs and I still sing them. Sang them to my son when he was growing up (I'm from W. TN)

[LivingfortheFather]

pretty sweet for playin only about 5 years! keep it up!

[banjolisterine]

now that was some good fiddle playing. my grandad used to play fiddle, never got to hear him play though. I'm from down in Georgia and I like them good old fiddle tunes we had a lot of good fiddlers come out of here like earl Johnson and such. gid tanner too. but you real good yourself, I'd say you might ought to form a band and travel some I'd listen to ya.

Thanks everyone! That tune is called "Black Eyed Peas and Cornbread" by Bob Prater. You can find it on Rounder CD 0376 - Traditional Fiddle Music of Kentucky: Up the Ohio and LIcking Rivers.
