[@haydenmiller5480]

saw him in chicago last fall. everything in the place came to a halt when he took the stage, still one of the craziest show experiences i have ever had.

[@mjq21xb]

Quite frankly, I'd rather people be respectful for the musician. When he and LDSB played in MA people drove me nuts hollering over the music. Save the applause until the end

[@mjq21xb]

There's times to embrace during a song, but not the whole time. Fuckers snap chatting the whole show and when they weren't going yew yew yew yew to the beat. Like stfu

Saw him in Tampa and his music (as well as lost dogs) just lifts the whole room when he plays his music. It's amazing

I saw him @ the Crowbar as well. Got him and lostdogs to sign my hat. I was working security that night they came to crowbar In ybor. Great guy!!

I recorded it, I was thinking he was the house sound guy stage setting Mister Ben and Mrs. Ashley's equip... well, now I own everything he's put out and actually listen to him more than anyone else at all... one hell of a wonderful surprise he was, yes, yes, he was/is....

Do you know what that fiddle position is called by chance?

There’s a difference between a fiddle and a violin. Once has strings and one has strangs on it.

[@jaymanlivecom]

Lmao.....

[@madelinelaurent8321]

It's a fiddle when you buy it and a violin when you are selling it.

[@N8DulcimerOld]

The difference is no one has ever spilled beer on a violin.

[@rustyshackleford531]

A violin is a fiddle being played incorrectly

heh, when I was growing up, I was never around them much, I thought they were the same... the interwebs don't really disagree with me, but it's good to keep learning! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiddle

I wonder if any beer has been split on it.

[@ThatSB]

@@jaymanlivecom they are the same instrument. Fiddle typically is what people refer to it in folk setting and usually denotes a style of playing and holding it
