Grey Eagle ~ Old Time Fiddle Tune

I occasionally play with these other guys in my garage -- when we get along. We're jamming to a tune I learned from Bruce Bauman down there in Mecosta County. So many versions of this one.

We call ourselves

"Ott Lake Rambler's Me, Myself, and I."

Happy New Year to all of you who visit my channel. Without you folks, my efforts here would be a waste of time!

I have watched this video over a dozen times and it still cracks me up. Good job, guy(s).

[ottlakerambler]

Thanks!  We enjoyed it.

found this on about2rains channel

like your playing

nice pickin

howd you put this video together?

[ottlakerambler]

I videod the fiddle live, with no back-up instruments. I then recorded the mando and guitar on a 4 track digital recorder. And I then videod myself on those two instruments.

It looks like I'm faking the fiddle because it ain't easy to edit it all together in perfect time with the music. But, I tried my best.

@ottlakerambler Of the numerous Grey Eagles I heard a version that sammy lind of the foghorn st band play one called Old Time Grey Eagle. Ever hear of it or no its source. Maybe Salyer?

Fantastic AND hilarous!

There are direct links between fiddle styles and Baroque era playing that modern violinists find odd; the posture of this man's violin would have fit right in Louis XIV's chamber. Also notice a lack of vibrato in fiddling. The way some hold their bows high above the frog. Baroque style.

This is a great one, OttLake. I love the man in the Bolero. He's my favorite. Hey, 4491430 (below) says you're holding your fiddle wrong! That's how Dino would've done it.
