This guy never seems to run out of great ideas. Amazing!
Well observed, Greg. Daniel told me a few years back...."I paint myself into a corner and I don't know how I will get out...but I know that I will."
Daniel is San icon. He's won every award shy of a Nobel peace Prize. Nobody can say whose best.. But if they don't mention Daniel then they cannot hear well. I could spend hours talking about Daniel.. He's a musical genius.
Top of all fiddler's all time. Top meaning he's great! There are others but he stands out. He loves Terry and Mark and many more. But he mainly just loves the music!
Howdy John. I forwarded your comment onto Daniel and he appreciated it and replied: "It was a special moment. Good people + Good energy = Good Music."
Very nice. I played this as a young fiddler. Not nearly as well. I started playing violin when I was 5 years old. Now I am 65 and still feel like I am 5 years old.
ive played fiddle for 30+ years. this guy is so good.
I bet Daniel's nickname is Mr. Smooth because of the way he fiddles. (Or possibly Smoothie McSmooth.)
Ha! "Smoothie McSmooth". Good one, Doug. I forwarded that on to Daniel.
This was one of the great tunes a much younger Mark O'Conner used to play that made him a fiddle champ at Weiser, Idaho back in the day for so many years they would not let him compete any more.
@Robert Shorthill, for the record, the rule in Weiser is, you can win a division three times in a row before you are expected to take a year off or better yet be a judge, to give others a chance at the title. If Mark wanted to, he could compete in Weiser, but I imagine he's got bigger fish to fry.
This arrangement is just nuts!! In a very good way!
Fantastic fiddlin'
LOVELY FIDDLE MUSIC GREAT JOG BOYS AMAZING PLAYING
Appreciate the comment, @roben king. But don't forget the two ladies contributing to that rhythm: Anne on six string and Amy on piano.
@@joyoffiddling yes joy sorry about that they are great I like u all lovely playting and singing ladies j r nl
Great playing - brilliant fiddling!
I think we gotta make sure to give props to the rhythm section as well.
That's some tight rhythm!
Well observed, James. The importance of solid back up can never be underestimated. Not only for how the back up sounds to the listener but how the back up makes the fiddler feel. A fiddler playing with pickers they can trust is able to do things on their instrument they would not otherwise be able to do. A fiddler riding a wave of groovy rhythm is not unlike a surfer riding a literal wave on the ocean. I've done both and the feeling is very similar....it's thrilling and addicting. And it sucks when the waves are chop, slop, weak, or flat. Mom always said when given the choice between bad back up and no back up at all, it was preferable to go with the latter. (She called it "Playing naked".) And for the record I think it's worth saying that "the best" back up does not necessarily mean you must only have the most skilled, most accomplished, most talented pickers on the planet to play with. The best is what is best for an individual fiddler according to their taste and needs as a musician. What pickers accentuate their joy in playing? Because, if you're feeling good, odds are you're sounding good. I am fortunate to have many pickers that I am able to play with regularly, but one in particular who is very self deprecating about his chops on the guitar: "I know I'm not the best picker around...but I listen. I pay attention." Fancy chord progressions can be a nice touch, but bottom line, it's all about the groove.
i'm still amaze at your playing ,and the band excel!!!!...............Yvon
Daniel Carwile got some serious chops! BRAVO!!
That he does, John. One of my favorite fiddlers and one of my favorite people. Proud to call him a friend and honored to feature (at the time of this writing) a total of 21 videos of Daniel on the Joy of Fiddling channel. They are all compiled into a single Playlist for folks who would like to see and hear more of Mr. Carwile. ua-cam.com/play/PL-7sGqQweHSiluf7NmuR8v0fj1gS6lPeK.html
Just enjoyed your Bach Cello Solo video, John. You've got chops too, my friend!
Amazingly smooth and accurate playing of this tune..Love watching you play dude. Excellent guitar and piano back up as well.
Hey Mickey. I forwarded your comment on to Daniel and he said "Thank you". He's a man of few words. Does most of his talkin' on the fiddle. His wife Amy (on piano) says thank you as well.
Kind of like Old Time fiddling with the fiddle playing all the time with same guitar beat. After a while it all runs together.
a master at his craft.
I think so too, Jason.
SPECIAL!
great job boys and to the 2 girls lovely playing girls thanks love your music
Holly S--- , man can that guy play the fiddle AWESOME
love that music
just, musically...amazing!
Very good. Enjoyed!
Amazing fiddler :)
My god! The lofty levels I aspire to... It hurts to think I am only 3 months in.
Don't be daunted, @Xenophile. Every single person you see in these videos on this channel were where you are now. Everyone starts somewhere. The fiddle is a demanding mistress that will require years of devotion, study, listening, practice, etc. She is not for the faint of heart. But she can yield a lifetime of reward.
@@joyoffiddling fiddlers can only be great after hours each day, weeks, months and years of practice and playing. One could only have it figured out by the time the person finally lays down the fiddle for the last time in life.
What this needs is more guitars😛
Well, Mick, you are not the first to make comment about that and it is totally understandable that some may wonder, how many is too many? For the record there are three standard six string guitars and one four string tenor guitar. And as far as this style of fiddling is concerned, it is not at all uncommon to have multiple pickers backing up a single fiddler. And truth be told I've seen many more pickers on stage or at a jam session with a fiddler than we have here. I can tell you on this evening Daniel thoroughly enjoyed having his own wall of rhythm. Whereas, if you check out the Calvin Vollrath videos on this channel, you will see one fiddler and one picker, and it's magic. Ultimately, to each his or her own. As far as we were concerned on this evening we were not recording an album or performing for an audience. We're just good friends who love making music together.
He he🤣 sorry English humour - actually it’s my favourite style of music, but it doesn’t quite work on my Accordion 😏
No apology necessary,+ Mike. And +The Four Horsemen, let's not assume Joy of Fiddling doesn't have a sense of humor 😉, as we had a good laugh when we first saw Mike's comment (plus we saw his joking emoticon). But as stated in the first sentence of our reply to Mike, other folks had wondered about the number of back up instruments around one fiddle in the Atherton Session series of videos on the Joy of Fiddling channel and we thought it was worth sharing a little information about the tradition of this particular style of fiddling and accompaniment.
And +Mike Hursey, you and your English accordion are welcome at are American jams anytime.👍
Prodigitaceous!
💥😳💥
Well said, JamesScottGuitar.
Wow
Yup.
i save in my top list.
I'd like to see more piano....😉
Duly noted, @ZzZ Kan. Pianos always welcome.
@@joyoffiddling what a pity
I live in Rome 😊
Well, saluti@@zzzkan3457! Always Love to hear from fiddle fans from around the world. I offer you the same recommendation I always give to folks who wish they could play along. Drop by the Joy of Fiddling channel anytime, turn up the volume on your speakers, and jam along with any instrument of your choosing.
is there sheet music for this version? I would love to learn it !!! AMAZING JOB
Glad you found and enjoyed this video, talkaholic. As I am sure you already know, sheet music for the tune "Tom and Jerry" is readily available. But as far as a direct transcription of this specific version in this video, I'm afraid one does not exist, unless someone has watched this video a few hundred times and transcribed it themselves. I shared your question with Daniel (already knowing full well what his answer was going to be) and his brief reply was this particular version was "on the fly". I can assure you that in the hundreds, if not thousands of times Daniel has played this tune, he has never done it exactly the same way twice, which is the case with pretty much every fiddle tune he plays. What you are seeing and hearing in this video (and in any of the other 20 videos of Daniel on this channel) sometimes referred to as "controlled improvisation", comes out of is head, heart, and soul in the moment. He had never played it like that before and he will never play it exactly like that again. Could not, even if he wanted to. But don't let that discourage you. On the contrary, while fiddlers have been borrowing tunes, variations, versions, and licks from other fiddlers since fiddling came into existence, there is something to be said about the joy of discovering your own way of playing a tune that is unique to you. It's fun and a good learning exercise to incorporate a few favorite licks from our fiddle heroes, but I believe you will find there is a great deal of satisfaction when variations and licks of your own reveal themselves to you.
Joy of Fiddling, thank you for replying. That is incredible. I've been playing the violin for over 12 years now but I am very 'by the book' And have learned suzuki method and love playing Bach's partitas and sonatas. I am excited to try this style of playing and will be seeking inspiration from Daniel
My pleasure. Daniel is an exceptionally inspiring individual and not just for his fiddling. Remember you are not alone, as there have been countless classically trained violinists who at some point discovered and fell hard for fiddling. (my mom was one of them) There are many challenges, of course, when tackling a new style and technique on an instrument that you've devoted many years to playing a very specific way. But the rewards for those with intent and discipline and desire to explore a new world are profound and lifelong.
@@joyoffiddling If I am not mistaken, this is in a "Texas style" of fiddling, full of improvs and variations where it is never done the same way more than once. If you had 2 or three fiddlers playing this, or many other tunes, you would probably get several variations -- each interesting, no doubt.
Exactly,@@robertshorthill6836. However, "Texas Style" is a tricky label to put on fiddlers sometimes, as the definition can change from person to person. I'd sooner jump off a cliff than try to pass myself off as an authority on ANY style of fiddling. Having said that, I do believe that improvisation and musical variation are a big part of Texas style fiddling and Daniel is one of the greatest improvisors on the fiddle that I know.
Es an urgency in the off beat when the top line needs to beeathe a little . Otherwise i feel the solo is being pulled along
So tell me, why can't we find half decent back up guitar players in So. CA (for old timey that is) ------ nice
Stephen Schauer, who is playing tenor in these videos, also plays guitar is in So Cal.
A Smith Thanks Tim, A.Smith I'm always interested in playing with new folks. Where are you?
Loved hearing that piano rhythm too!
We did too, @eighta peach. If pianos were more portable we'd hear a lot more of them in the rhythm sections of jam sessions.
You cut it a new one Daniel!
Ha! Well put, Charlie.
The proof I needed..,, good fiddlers are surrounded by hot chicks !!!
Ken, it's not everyday I get a comment that makes me laugh out loud, so thanks for that. As to the validity of your comment...well...as a rule, I'm not certain it works all the time...but, in this particular case, I would agree with you. I will be forwarding along your compliment to the "hot chicks" in question.
Needs a little relaxation by rhythm section on the back beat.
I love your fiddling I think you judged me in a guitar I played mark occonors wild fiddlers rag I got first place your name made me nervous
Hi Brandon, I passed your comment along to Daniel and he got a kick out of it. I don't blame you for being a little nervous as Daniel is what I like to call a highly functional fiddler who is a superb fiddle contest judge with a keen ear and a taskmaster fiddle instructor. But he's also one of the kindest, most generous, down to earth individuals you could ever hope to meet. He is the exact opposite of intimidating if you ever have the chance to talk with him in person.
Thanks I always loved his fiddlin I think his wife fiddles too she might of been a judge to tony rothrock played rythmn for me that he put the contest on I think I got 2nd in mandolin I cant even play one I headed for the hills
Atherton? Atherton??
As in...Atherton, California, where this jam session took place.
Oh, I know Atherton. One of the wealthiest, old money cities in the USA. Certainly not Deer Holler, West Virginia. Not being a rude person, maybe bit of a wise guy, but to her such wonderful music coming out of Atherton is quite a surprise. Is that a large-pattern Strad the gentleman is playing? ;- ) Fine music for sure.
Well B.T., I'd like to believe that good music is good music and can come from anywhere. Out of all the musicians who appear in the Atherton Session videos, only one of them actually lives in Atherton and he's originally from Nacogdoches,Texas, and he most certainly does not come from "old money". The other folks in the videos currently reside in the states of Oregon, California, and Kentucky. Daniel (fiddle) is originally from Alabama and his wife Amy (piano) is originally from Idaho. Scott (guitar) lived for many years in Nashville, Tennessee and toured the country playing with Country Music legend Tom T Hall. Stephen (tenor guitar) is originally from Indiana. Basically, everyone in this video is from everywhere. We're all friends who just decided to get together that particular weekend to play music and Atherton happened to be the gathering point.
As for the instrument, Daniel plays three different fiddles in this series of videos (one of them mine) but I cannot speak on the maker of the fiddle in this particular video, beyond the fact that it's not a Stradivarius, although that would be pretty cool, wouldn't it?
Please don't misunderstand. I LOVE this music. These guys totally rock. But it's a bit like the next important paper on dark matter was submitted from Goatlicker Alabama (pop.36). It's all good, the music is terrific and the players clearly enjoying themselves. Uh, any stock tips? ;- )
No worries, BT. The Joy of Fiddling channel prides itself on avoiding misunderstandings and glad to know you are enjoying the videos. On your behalf, I did ask Bob via phone call (the sole Atherton resident in the video and high tech consultant who specializes in medical and LED technology start-ups) if he had any hot tips and he said..."Don't eat Mexican food and stand too close to an open flame".
