Southern Raised Bluegrass Performs "Orange Blossom Special"

[@billfielder3646]

Had my LIKE with western boots & a skirt.

[@Biggdaddy903]

My Daddy absolutely loved both Appalachian bluegrass and Ozark bluegrass. I used to just dread Sunday night because of the hee haw, grand ol Opry, and the other country music shows. Here I am now 56 years old and love all shades of bluegrass. Thank you for sharing your talents and thank you Dad for sharing your life with me and my siblings.

[@dajpm]

This is the best rendition of "The Orange Blossom Special" that I have ever heard. I absolutely love the way you blended Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, I. Allegro", Rossini's "William Tell Overture" and Aaron Coplin"s "Hoe-down" into the song. This is a true masterpiece.

You can't play like that if you are not classical trained

My old fiddle teacher was like that. Self taught and had good ear

[@MrMd5555]

Exactly, and it's even more common than most people realize. I can't read a lick of music but have played guitar in many bar bands over the last 21 years but can also play bass, drums, piano & some mandolin. Fiddle on the other hand has been kicking my butt a little here lately but I'm working on it & am confident I'll add that to my repertoire as well in the future. In the band/musicians circles my experiences have been its way more common to run into self taught musicians that don't read music than those who can read it, especially at bluegrass festivals & such.

[@tomstulc9143]

@@MrMd5555 exactly. Sat down to a piano at age 6. Heard chet Atkins play at age 8 ,said my I got to do that. Grade 5 through ,7 band played Trumpet with the super basics whole single noted music. Can play about any instrument I pick up. However, started learning music theory and basic reading music late in life the back door way. I strongly recommend getting basic paino/ keyboard lessons and knowledge even for ear players. It will make your advancement much easier. I'm retired play my guitars every day. Need to get the piano up and going. And the sax and mandolin just rest in their cases. Perhaps this winter. Too many projects.

I had a really tough day today. Down on myself. Down on life. Fighting with friends. Really needed a song to help let it all about. Turned to just two tunes that had the right mix of hope and melancholy. This one and Equinox by Cole. Going back and forth between them. It really helps. Helps me cry the frustration out without doing much more than just laying in the dark and letting the music sweep over me. Thanks Angel. You may not be aware but your music touches people. Did for me tonight.

@@crocodilegrundee4514 got to pitch in there with you. Bluegrass still gives you hope in music. I describe the Nashville Pop as country FATT. Fake Accents Two Tempos.

@@sandburgmartin7947 Yeah, my sentiments exactly. For me, it has to have something more than just a good beat. I will listen to a lot of different music, but most all the popular music nowadays, is just boring. Whether it is pop, country, or Rock, there is just not much to it other than a beat. Bluegrass I really enjoy though. The FATT acronym sums it up just right. I like that one for the pop country!

[@johnbaker3016]

Right on Pam. Some of the best in the world. This old man knew Doc Watson, Van Cliburn, Bobby Dylan, Joan Baez. Knew the last two when they were touring with the Rolling Thunder Review. I'd talked Review into booking into Ed Ball's private nature preserve Wakulla Inn. Ball had married into the wealthy Dupont family via his nice and when her very rich uncle wanted to tour Europe during the great Depression Ed was given Dupont's "power of attorney" to exercise while Dupont was on the other side of the pond. Now take a breath. Words he neglected his power of attorney upon his return and Ed Ball awaited his death and acting for him refused to probate Dupont's estate and thus soon became the richest man in Florida. I was lucky enough to have known him and to have fallen in love with Wakulla Springs and spent my third honeymoon in its Inn. I had been put off that the first time Bobby and Joan visited Tallahassee they stayed at the newer and tacky Holiday Inn and made it my business that they'd not make that mistake twice. Nor will I forget Bob's ire when I told him he and Joan were so popular they could have shed themselves of the Rolling Review and have stayed with Ed Ball at the Wakulla Inn perched on top of Wakulla Springs one of the natural wonders of mother Earth. He looked at me with new eyes and said, "the Review is the only world" they knew. I laughed and promised them both I'd be happy to change that for free...I did and the rest is history. Baker
