Gawd that clip blows me away every time. I have to watch it at least once a week. Mind-bending talent. And then they just walk off like it was nothing. Who are the fiddlers ???
They're playing so fast it looks like they sped up the film but you can tell it's not because the people in the background are moving normal speed. Phenomenal musicians.
@@johnpanzer2000 The fiddler on the left in the darker suit jacket is Bobby Hicks, who just passed away age 91,on Aug 16,2024. Bobby use to play for Ricky Skaggs in 1980s. Not sure who the other fiddler is.
@@johnpanzer2000 Jackie Phelps also thumb picked guitar. I had the pleasure of seeing him pick his red Gibson electric guitar backing String bean at the Opry at the Ryman in 1970. I was a kid.

Claude "Jackie," Phelps the Hee Haw eeefin guy one half on banjo.
He's incredible. Makes it look so easy. Do you know who the fiddlers are?

@@johnpanzer2000 The smaller fiddler on the right might be Charlie Cline.No relation to Patsy Cline.
Thanks! I watched Hee Haw all the time and didn't notice that the banjo man was the hand-slapping 'eefin' guy, so thanks for that also.@@glencoe6305

Ernie Newton on bass , house musician.
I’m learning this now now on mandolin, just can’t get anywhere near the speed. Can do it in banjo, but Mando is so hard. Tremendous playing
