The Amazing Ruby Jane April 17th, 2011 at Gruene Hall

Ruby Jane has forty years experience as the top notchiest top notch fiddler in the World today. She's still a teenager and her talent has continued its never ending expansion since five years ago when she was merely phenomenal. She surrounds herself with the best and brightest new young musicians while never neglecting the older and more seasoned veterans (think Willie, the Rays and Marvin the young un'). She is what I call a good citizen, no she is a "Truely Fine Citizen." If her mother wasn't her manager she would be rich and even more famous and not nearly as good a musician or person. They don't come any better than Ruby Jane and that is meant as a truthful, factual, non bias statement, because it is what it is.
The band, Trevor LaBonte, Kai Roach, Corey Keller, Marvin Dykhuis and the Absolutely Amazing Female embodiment of Bob Wills with ten times the talent, imho, Ruby Jane.

P.S. Hope to see you this coming Sunday (May 15) at Gruene Hall, Georgie.

@artsevere I meant forty years in a metaphysical sense. She's been a fiddler for several past lives already. Never has reincarnation seemed more feasible.

Wow!!! Blown away!!!

Breathtaking!!!

May I say more?

Thousand thumbs up!!:)

Hey Art! I agree completely. I hope to catch her when I am home in November. I'll be near Gruene at Sequin.

I am an enormous fan of her fiddling. She is sooo talented I wish I could hear her play Irish or european fiddle tunes. Wouldn't it be great to see her with Natalie MacMaster?

Another super performance. The whole band is good and I really like watching Ruby Jane play.

@GeorgieWise I don't know how many people I've heard say exactly that (including me!).

George, well written commentary and truer words were never spoken. Hope to see you Sunday.

PS: Some great shots of my back as well(orange and white). I'm sitting by the phone waiting my call from Hollywood :o)

Another P.S., I think Georgie meant to say fourteen years experience, Ruby started playing the fiddle (actually classical violin) when she was two years old.

Ruby is 16, she played on the Grand Ole Opry when she was nine (yes NINE) years old. I first saw her when she was 12. As Georgie said, she is the best fiddle player in the world. No exaggeration. And your 'write-up" about her is spot-on, Georgie. I'm sure I've seen you at Gruene Hall (I've never missed one of her

Sunday shows, going back to 2008), I'm sure I've seen you but I can't quite make out the picture of you, it's a bit too small. The title of this song is "Soldier's Joy", by the way.
