The Charlie Daniels Band - Orange Blossom Special (Live)

[@carlaaustin7223]

I'm amazed how much Charlie Daniels has changed in his lifetime. Becoming a Christian made him a better fiddle player. He's got grit.

I met Charlie when I was about 22 years old! I asked him for his autograph and he held my hands and told me that I was a beautiful lady ! He had the biggest smile from up under his hat 😁 and the bluest eyes ! And a big ring on! He was a lot like my brother Jim! I won't ever forget him! What a awesome man and Musician! Rest in Peace Charlie! 🌹

You are so right, born in the 50's, grew up loving Bluegrass, mom played Guitar and Uncle Banjo!

[@denisestrickland2976]

I’ve been to many concerts in my life. The best was back in 1978 seeing Charlie Daniel’s! He was the BEST! I sure miss him. I met him in 98. A very humble nice man

[@guaporeturns9472]

There will always be good ole boys

[@sistertracy-thechurchofroc6574]

I've been to probably 500+ concerts...the BIG artists in arenas and bars seeing people like Buddy Guy. Rock, country, punk, blues, R&B, you name it. Still, to this day, The CDB is one of the best shows I've ever been to. I was 8 months pregnant with my only child but that didn't stop me lol. Right down front, rockin, with the baby dancing in my belly. She was born two weeks early and I thank Charlie Daniels for that. My daughter is now 27 and has already seen probably 300 shows!

RIP Charlie. You are the standard for musicians and people in general. You will be missed but your legacy will live forever

[@wagonmaster1974]

Saw Charlie twice - backstage media pass one of the times. Humble, nice and friendly fellow. Talked about his horses almost as much as his music. Quite a prankster, with his band. Loved it when he got playful on stage. RIP, big guy.

[@tinarlowe2251]

Someone once asked me what the difference was between a fiddle and a violin. I simple said, listen to Charlie D and thats a 🎻. The best there was. Charlie sitting on that sack of seeds. RIP

Listen to Augustin Hadelich's version of this and then to this recording and you will hear the difference;)

[@bubamaranovichok4901]

@@adabarda203 for the uninformed folks, the origins of this creation is not even close this mess. Underrated Gipsy violin players could wipe the floor with Charley. Was written and created back in the dark mountains in the former Hungarian Empire by Dinicu exeptional violin player and composer. As a showman Charley would beat him, but as a violin player sorry to say it he has a lot to learn.

[@tedbosch3657]

Saw him at the Grand Ole Opry last August then again a couple of weeks later in Grand Junction, CO. I'm so glad I got to see him - amazing talent. I love all of his music! RIP you will be missed.

[@tombaker6237]

As a drummer and a HUGE CDB fan since I was a boy back in the 70's, I could watch this video all day. Charlie and the band ham it up and rock it out at the same time, and Pat's double bass is as amazing as ever. I've seen Charlie about 17 times in concert and I hope I get to see him 17 more before he finally retires. I would about give my right arm to be able to PLAY with the CDB at some point but then of course that would make it harder if I ever got the opportunity! THANK YOU Charlie and the CDB for so many years of great music! God Bless each of you and your families for putting up with the touring schedule, etc!

I met Mr. Daniels in our homestate of Tennessee not entirely too long before he passed. I always have and will look up to him very much. Charlie got famous at what must've been 25 Or Was It 26? He was a Simple Man who grew to be an Old Rock N Roller. He saw the great Fire On The Mountain and with it came music that changed the world forever. The Midnight Wind came and God said "Play Me Some Fiddle." A Good Ol Boy Charlie was so he obeyed. Now all the angels in heaven are singing Its My Life while we all sing Heaven Can Be Anywhere. You will be dearly missed Mr. Daniels, from all of us here in Tennessee and beyond.
