I took up fiddling at age 60. Love the music and people I have met in the old time fiddlers group. This video is great because a bunch of really great fiddlers let a little kid shine. Keep up the good work. Jim
This is just great.I had no idea Haggard played fiddle but he was a big Bob Wills fan.The kid is great too.My late grandfather played hoe downs back in southwestern Missouri as a kid.He played until he died in the early '70s.I took it up in the early sixties,then switched to band.Aside from a short course in it when I was a music major,I laid it down until some ten years ago.I've been a Bob Wills fan since I was around 11 years ago.
I saw Merle's show in Amarillo once. One of the very best shows we ever saw. And Tiger Bell, can play the fiddle as good as anyone I've ever heard. He put on an amazing performance! I loved the way he sand Diggy Liggy Lo !!! Ignore the idiots young man! :)
Saw this on a re-run of Pop Goes the Country, Tiger Bell can hold his own with the greats, like the Osbornes. Merle said he knew about 400 songs on the fiddle. Where is he today, cause Pop Goes the Country was from my teen yrs.
There was once a young boy who could fiddle with the best of em. He traveled far and wide entertaining the masses with his awesomeness on his fiddle. The music he played was like sex for your ear holes. But alas the people grew tired of the boy and his fiddle. They yearned for something new. The boy, now a man, was cast aside and forgotten. He turned to whiskey and drugs to ease the pain. They found the once beloved fiddle boy dead one morning clutching his fiddle. That boy was me.
Great musicians. I'll still go with Mark O'Connor though. It isn't a competition. I've seen Tiny Moore about 8 times and he was excellent. But still, I'll go with Mark O'Connor.
Haha, screw all the music teachers that give the highest importance in their violin lessons to the way the fiddle is helt. That boy holds it in maybe the worst way I´ve ever seen, but he freakin` rocks that thing! Yeeeeehaw!
MY DAD!! Tiny Moore, one of the greatest of all times. Miss you Dad.
I took fiddle lessons at his music studio over on El Camino Ave. Its surprising how many country stars ended up in Sacramento
If Merle was a ballplayer he'd be Willie Mays. He could do it all. He is really missed. Great artist... great man... and a good man.
I'm listening to Gimble ALL day today. We'll miss you friend. Condolences to the Gimble family
I help take care of his widow now…. sweet sweet lady…. has his Country Hall of Fame plaque in her living room 🎻🎶
Love love love hearing Johnny Gimble. Class and inventive
Country music is now just a bunch of Top 40 bubblegum with lyrics to match. Gone are the days of GOOD Country.

Never realized Merle played fiddle and damn fine, too.
God bless me! That was great!
The tune that Johnny Gimble plays is pretty much what I play as "Sweet Cream And Peaches".

Little Ralphie could play a mean fiddle!
Mark is simply awesome. Few can touch him today . But really for b/g no one could touch the great and late Kenny Baker. R.I.P.
What ever little dude. Great surprise hearing you play.
Little boy looks like Ralphie on A Christmas Story.

Thanks for the excellent post. Two former Texas Playboys, and I'm pretty sure I hear the great Eldon Shamblin on guitar (unseen).

He sounded great? How old was he in that video?
MsLilyhorse
Probably about 56 or 57.
He was as good as it came on the mandolin. Love the album he did with Jethro Burns.
Jim Hambleton

Yes
All except the boy are playing five-strings.

Faded Love.
Great musicians. I'll still go with Mark O'Connor though.
It isn't a competition. I've seen Tiny Moore about 8 times and he was excellent.
But still, I'll go with Mark O'Connor.

Stella Moore that young man is Tigar Bell. He is very talented and lives in Nashville area working in the music business
Haha, screw all the music teachers that give the highest importance in their violin lessons to the way the fiddle is helt. That boy holds it in maybe the worst way I´ve ever seen, but he freakin` rocks that thing! Yeeeeehaw!
