Day 355 - Golden Slippers - Patti Kusturok's 365 Days of Fiddle Tunes

Here's a good old standard fiddle tune that I love to play.

[@ANTOINETTE-nk1tm]

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING. THIS WAS TOTALLY ASTONISHING. THE BEST RENDITION OF GOLDEN SLIPPERS WITH FIDDLE.

[@bbtbluegrassbackingtracks]

That's some mighty fine fiddling!!

[@1mrmerced]

I absolutely love your fiddling, but my oh my....that guitar!--what a wonder!!!

[@oldbird-zm8qt]

❤ I hear it so often at jamborees, which is great, but you just have such beautiful ornamentation on some of the passages. It makes it really come alive.

[@PattiKusturokOfficial]

Thank you!

[@ANTOINETTE-nk1tm]

WHAT SUPER DEXTERITY AND CONTROL. SUPERB ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[@chugmorin9252]

Good stuff. I wish I could jam with you guys sometime. I grew up playing this music. Makes me miss my dad who was a fiddler.

[@enzotrump1618]

Came here via Aunt Doris ( aged 93 ) on the piano. Good God you're good Patti. Listening to things we'd never have thought to listen to due to lockdown boredom. Best regards from the UK

[@PattiKusturokOfficial]

Thanks so much!

[@Joshsmusicshit]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent. I could listen to it all day!

[@joycemaccarthaigh7294]

Gold Slippers is a brilliant lively tune

[@markrobinson891]

I just found you when I was looking up this song to learn on guitar. Where have you been all my life? That was smooth as buttah. Your back up guitar player is super fine too. You may know the writer of Oh, Dem Golden Slippers (1879) James Bland was a black minstrel performer. He was the first man to put the 5th string on a banjo. We owe him a great debt.

[@pambouey]

Love the way you play this!

[@lucienoon7262]

[@jeffmikich1257]

Absolutely fantastic..I love playing that song on guitar..dad taught me to pick it on a tenor banjo when I was young 👍👍

[@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

Wow... I am Very Impressed. This was nicely and tastefully done. Super clean, timing is perfect .. and your back up musician is right on the mark.

[@PattiKusturokOfficial]

[@sjynmusic5601]

Have this video handy if someone bumps into you and wants to know what the word "effortless" means. Edit: and keep the tab open for that other guy, who might not know the meaning of "flow".

[@shrubhater]

Yes. Beautiful comments.

[@larrywebb8323]

How long did it take you to learn playing the fiddle?

[@gaetanobevilacqua1515]

Wow!

[@Luapi]

♥️

[@fencepost650]

great

[@PattiKusturokOfficial]

Thanks!

[@midnighttoker8663]

Who is that in the back? How does he play that guitar

[@merlynschutterle7242]

Rory Hoffman plays like that. Rory is blind and a great player. Find him on you tube.

[@PattiKusturokOfficial]

That’s Jeremy Rusu! He’s blind and an amazing musician. Plays about 18-20 instruments. And he and Rory Hoffman are friends!

[@springcreekfarmer]

@@PattiKusturokOfficial It looks like he is playing it left handed, upside down on his lap. Very cool.

Brutal

[@PattiKusturokOfficial]

Manuel Martinez Brutal???

[@ManuelMartinez-cb8vl]

Yes. Here, in Spain, is like to say Fantastic!!!

[@PattiKusturokOfficial]

Manuel Martinez Ah okay! That's a relief,

[@voiksmusifan]

Hey - here in Southern Germany we also would consider this as "brutal" - and we mean fantastic/great/marvellious, like you do in Spain :-)

[@ANTOINETTE-nk1tm]

CAN YOU COME PLAY THAT AT THE BOY SCOUT JAMBOREE IN BUGTUSSLE ARKANSAS ? WE'RE HAVING HOT DOGS AND BEANS AND KOOL-AID.
