Great old time version of this song -- I think this how it sounds best! Thanks for posting this.

@allengarvin He probably plays more than just old-time style of fiddle, which doesn't necessarily require use of the chin rest. If you were playing modern bluegrass, you would want to use the chin rest.

Rafe's a killer fiddler... but I don't understand why, if he's gonna play it down on his chest like that... why does he need a chin rest? It just adds needless weight to the fiddle.

the fiddle player has got it down, awesome sound with that fiddle

[dbadagna]

How common is it for this tune to be played in A? Isn't it usually in G, or occasionally in D?
