There are a small handful of fiddlers alive today who are light years above everyone else. Some are older and therefore more experienced than others, but they all have several things in common: Authority/confidence, speed (as in musical velocity), power, subtlety, versatility, huge stage presence, and joy. You will know them because you can listen to one of their renderings over and over again and never cease to be surprised. I won't try and rank or compare them in any order because each is quite unique from the other. They are Stuart Duncan, Annie Staninec, Aynsley Porchak, Michael Cleveland and Mark O'Connor. I'm sure I have missed some. But these five are really special to me because I can actually hear and feel the uniqueness in their playing even without looking. If any of you artists are reading this, thank you... for your dedication. Your music has put a smile in my heart MANY times.
Once in a while a none professional group of folks pop up on YT. Glad to experience such a group playing bluegrass tunes I had not heard before. Must be original tunes. Great stuff -- thanks folks.

I wish I were there picking with y'all. I miss those evenings spent with my dad n law drinking coffee and singing. Thanks for sharing.
Great picking and singing! And fiddling 😊
