Watch 1:50 to 2:00. He is lost in his music, and showing true love for what he is doing. That is separates Doug from all the others, that fiddle is a part of him and he is a part of it. I never get tired of watching this man play.
Doug Kershaw was the first concert my wife and I went to back in 76 and it is as good now as it was then, Johnny Cash put on a good concert but it seemed like Doug had more fun. These videos bring back alot of memories that we shared in this first 36 years. Thanks for putting them up.
@daileyspinaltap Doug Kershaw is bout as CAJUN as they get man!!! He was bred & born in Southwest LA...heck he didn't even speak English til he was 8 years old!!
Check out my other youtube channel, falcanary, or just type "rendez-vous des cajuns" in youtube and see fine examples of what the culture's music REALLY sounds like. While I understand that DK is interested in entertaining than displaying cultural music, it's like going to Taco Bell for authentic mexican food. It's just not the same.
fiddling: yes. Cajun: no. His playing today is the furthest thing from what authentic cajun is. Only outsiders who don't know the difference believe this garbage is cajun fiddling. -- WF, born and raised, Lafayette, LA, playing real Cajun fiddle all my life
No problem. Type "Rendez-vous des cajuns" on youtube and see almost any of the videos posted. These are the finest examples of what's available live today. Listen to Joel Savoy, Jamie Bearb, old Balfa brothers for good direction.
first time i seen doug was on a willie nelson 4th of july picnic, i think back in the late 70`s...i could be wrong,,,he did bully of the bayou, and it was fantastic...john in Australia
Doug must have a Great left hand brain !!! His fiddle playing is an extension of his whole being on this planet !!!! SYLA !!!. Who is the Pianist !!!

@daileyspinaltap That man is 100% Cajun. Even if you don't like the music, you gotta respect the man. Read his bio some time.

I agree. I love authentic Cajun the best, but Doug is a close second. He just oozes that Cajun joy & beat that epitomizes zydeco for me.
And hey, why argue - we can enjoy both kinds.
