I just wanted to tell you that you have a fantastic channel here. My oldest Brother Vern Barge was the best fiddle player I ever had the priviledge of playing with. He past away almost 5 years ago. I really miss him. When I happened upon your channel I started to cry. Many of the songs on your channel are one we played together.
I just wanted to say thank you for the great videos, and I hope you post mere soon
Thank you from my heart
