"Arkansas Traveler" by O'Connor, Daniels, Kershaw, Gimble, Clements, Spicher, Texas Shorty

[@estelleadamski308]

does anyone else realize how absolutely fantastic this event is? having all these fiddle players playing the same song, but, all in their unique style? this should have millions of views!

[@lindawilcox745]

Doug Kershaw is the showman of all showman! He's fantastic.

[@GraceS-z1t]

I missed out on Doug Kershaw (2023) showing in TX, last year, I didn't know him, it is a shame for my uneducated and limited eyes.

[@randalclarke5487]

He's also way out his element in Arkansas Traveler lol...Cajun fiddle is pretty much a drone- he just doesn't have the chops those other guys have.

[@rogertrozelle8159]

What a line up, Thank you.

[@JMAG710]

The American Music Shop, The Texas Connection, and The Grand Ole Opry.... 1990s country was the reason I got into playing, singing, and writing Country Music. I'll never let it die.

[@wizardoffrobozz]

Came here for Kershaw but they were all a treat. Kershaw admired each one in turn. is he so humble? amazing.

[@BenSlover1]

Vassar's the coolest. Period.

[@hollyholyan4254]

I love Dough Kershaw, he is the coolest dude...even today he is so handsome. God bless you/family.

[@blissbaxley9363]

Reminds me of home!❤

[@rickpick9058]

Just heard Michael Cleveland do this tune at the Cowichan Bluegrass Festival. I’ll bet he could add yet another amazing addition to this incredible collection of fiddlers!

[@josefinagarza241]

He's great, just heard him❤

[@bigL.98]

I'm only 22 and I am literally so entertained by all these guy's they are great,everbody is different but all top notch👌😁

[@johnnyphillips4406]

[@bluefeatherlf5124]

I just get so thrilled when I hear such wonderful harmonys!!!!!🌹🙌🙌🙌🙏👼💋💋💋🇺🇸💍🌺🌿☎️🎇🎆🐝🐬💝💍❤️❤️❤️

[@Gods2ndFavoriteBassPlyr]

Never really heard Daniels cut loose before.. I think he's a lot better than he thinks he is. All outstanding musicians.. super classy and tastefully done!

[@genevakruse7152]

Lots of folk don't know it but Charlie played the fiddle on Hank Jr's,Family Tradition in 79

[@JohnSmith-hq8bo]

If you've heard Devil Went Down to Georgia, you've heard him play fiddle.

"Arkansas Traveler" by Mark O'Connor, Charlie Daniels, Doug Kershaw, Johnny Gimble, Vassar Clements, Buddy Spicher and James Chancellor "Texas Shorty" Celebrating the release of the Mark O'Connor Warner Bros. album, "Heroes." Music Director: Mark O'Connor - TNN American Music Shop Band

[@NashvilleTuneStream]

Even though this tune was not on the album, it’s great to see about half of the heroes on the album here playing this one together. One of my favorite records. Glad Shorty, Johnny and Doug made the trip to TN to do the program.

[@johnpetrella9331]

Greatest assembly of Fiddle Players ever.

[@johnpetrella9331]

And you gotta love Doug Kershaw!!!

[@randalclarke5487]

That Classical training gives O' Connor an edge in technique and intonation but I love the way Kershaw isn't afraid to get atonal, but I think Gimble was the most inventive and tasty

[@Guitcad1]

Mark O'Connor is easily the most "polished" of the bunch. Johnny Gimble was very bright and jazzy as always. Charlie Daniels was raw and gritty. And Kershaw was clearly having a blast and making it all look so damn _easy!_ All in all, I couldn't ask for a better lineup of fiddle players, all doing what they do best!

[@leitfie3579]

Wonderful!

[@genevakruse7152]

For those who don't know it. It is Charlie Daniels playing fiddle on Family Tradition for Hank Williams Jr, and Buddy Spicher on George Straits(Amarillo by morning)

Unique parts.

[@Guitcad1]

OMFG! It's like the _PANTHEON_ of fiddle players! Everybody who is _anybody_ is there!

[@rebeccarankin2691]

Some great fiddling here!

[@zolar55]

nice.....wonderful array of players....

[@ecarteringram]

Johnny Gimble WINS!!!!!

[@pogofiddle]

gotta love that texas swing feel that Johnny puts in!!!

[@virgilschmoe9435]

Had the op to meet dale,and terry morris as well as birine berline ,jr,doughrty my we remember them all

[@stevesprinceofsteaks]

Yep the Morris Bros were/are great. Played with Terry few times. He walked away with just about every trophy there was in those days. Brother Dale happened to be in Tennison Bros Violin shop in FTW the day I walked in to look for axe. Asked if the cheap one they showed me was any good. Handed it to this guy. Tore it up. Was Dale Morris Sr. Reining TX State Fiddle champ. Did buy it. Never got as good as them though. Terry's loss was huge.

[@blissbaxley9363]

Powerful

[@irvinslagter8298]

How in thunderation can Doug Kershaw play that with it hanging out on the end of his arm that way???

[@bluefeatherlf5124]

He and his fiddle are one in the same.

[@leitfie3579]

That's a very old folk technique - you can see it in paintings of old folk fiddlers from long ago (I mean REALLY long ago - over 100 years). I've no doubt there are still quite a number who do.

[@austin1fiddler]

It looked like Gimble brought his own Amp to the party. That's probably why he sounded so amazing.

[@RandyStrubleBackingTracks]

it's a fiddle fest; awesome!!!

[@cegda5886]

Nooo Charlie! RIP

[@davidledford6482]

charlie daniels looks near 7 feet tall, a big dude..

[@tomforsythe7024]

Kershaw doesn't have the best violin technique, but puts on the best show.

[@brendothedude4660]

Dutch thinks he's slick.

[@waindayoungthain2147]

I have never been trusting if’s the democratic dictated the Prosperity ironic with FED 🇺🇸😊, 🙏🏻💋!

[@kelamuni]

why is Charlie Daniels even there?

[@rebellady04]

why are you even here

[@genevakruse7152]

Charlie Daniels is playing the fiddle part on on Hank Jr's Family Tradition , and did a great job of it.I play fiddle myself and live very close to Turkey ,Tx

[@tomgpjr1]

Can you play better
