That nod from Mr Hicks around 2:01 says it all. Better then a Grammy. Good to see Joey get the acclaim he has long deserved.

Hi Joe, thanks for the nice comment, I will tell Joey. Bobby Hicks is doing great, we spoke to him on Christmas Eve.

I got here from the Price Sisters. This is the magic and the beauty of KZbin.

[@Redsnapper4me]

This is one of those magical music moments! So great! I aspire to play like this!

[@dannyc1174]

This is awesome by two of the finest. Wonderful video.

[@FiddlesAreGood]

Thanks Danny, so glad their first time to play together was captured on video.

Oh you boys are so smooth and so good.

[@cgptony11]

I found the recording of this song Oddly enough it's on Bobby Hicks recording "Fiddle Patch" Bobby Hicks

Top draw gents👌

[@cougarbaitkenyan9252]

A masterpiece !! any chance you have the recording of Gardenia ??

[@FiddlesAreGood]

I do have that recording, I have a thumb drive of a dozen or so tunes. I'll have to dig it out and post something - thanks for asking! Sherry

[@cgptony11]

Any idea where I can find the western version of this song I found a Charlie Parker version and a Deanna Durbin version But I'd like to find a western rendition This is so pretty

[@FiddlesAreGood]

Anthony Robledo - it is a beautiful melody. Are you looking for the standard notation or looking for a version with lyrics?

[@cgptony11]

Fiddles Are Good Both actually I found an old version by Deanna Durbin And another by Charlie Parker I did find it on Bobby's album Fiddle Patch But I would appreciate any & all help I can get Thank you

@@cgptony11 try Fiddlin' Around LP by Johnny Gimble. I believe the whole thing is posted on these KZbins. A beautiful version.

I love Joey's playing, but I wish he'd used a different guitar here...

[@cgptony11]

I love Joey's playing too What do you mean, like what type of guitar? I just wish he was facing the camera I heard he lives real close to me in Burleson, a suburb of Fort Worth I've seen him at the guitar shows (I have a real cool video of him whistling a tune while accompanying himself I'm going to post) I IM'ed him once asking for a lesson but he never replied A local guitar great from also around here told me that he was invited to a party Joey had and that he had Redd Volkart sitting in that night I'd like to see that video

[@paul29671]

@@cgptony11 I just think the sound is thin, & I wish he had a fuller sound. I'd probably hand him a dreadnought instead.

[@cgptony11]

Chinese Mugwump Cool Yeah I agree I was just curious Thank you

[@gnuages]

I love this video: I'm guessing Joey's guitar is an unplugged electric and he's playing a bit harder than if it were plugged into an amp: because of that, his articulation is easier to hear, especially the little "Eldon runs" - and I think Bobby is playing with a slightly shorter bow (less aggressive) to balance the mix a bit.

[@FiddlesAreGood]

@@cgptony11 - hey, reach out to Joey again, I think your messages must have fallen thru the cracks! There is a recent video with Redd at Joey's facebook page, just scroll down a bit and you'll see it there.🙂 Sherry
