How could anyone in their right mind dislike this.Talent is such a beautiful thing and these 2 together are magic.They belong together in so many ways.You both are SO lucky to have eachother. Bless you both.
Welcome to our film of the bluegrass classic, "Jerusalem's Ridge." We hope you enjoy our music video! Maggie and I had a great time performing in this video. If you like this, you may want to check out: ua-cam.com/video/zapKRPynLkA/v-deo.html. Thank you of watching us and listening to us!
WOW is all I can say. I saw you play many years ago in a little theater in Ishpeming , Michigan and have always wanted to see you play again. This is one of my favorite tunes. I think Mr. Monroe wrote it for the mandolin but I don't recall. I now live back in my native NC mountains and I'm so glad to see the exploration of music in all its forms, but bluegrass will always stir my emotion like no other. Fantastic duo with another great musician, Ms. Maggie! Thank you so much!
Great work! Beautiful music, beautiful minds, beautiful people! Wish more people could recognize true talent, instead of following whatever the idiotbox tells them to. Mark is a LEGEND.
My very dearest old friend wrote this tune. He passed away about 4 years ago. It makes me miss him, but makes me smile at the same time. Yall's version is beautiful!
I have been looking for the two of you for years...I just didn't know who you were!!! Thank You for being here...I don't have to tell you just how awesome you are...but I will...AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like the contrast between the pastoral Surroundings and the elegant clothing. Beautiful playing, too. Your playing makes me try practicing more to make up for lack of talent.
Mark and Maggie O’Connor “Duo” is getting rave reviews and is now available on Amazon.com. (Write a customer review there!) "But really this is unlike any other music anybody else has made, and that's the acid test." -All Music “Don’t expect to hear or compare this album with any other genre of fiddle music. Expect Mark O’Connor. Add Maggie and you’ve got an odyssey into genius.” -iFiddleMag “For Mark, Duo continues his remarkable mid-career reinvention as a classical artist and composer and furthers his case and cause for a new American Classical string music repertoire.’ -Deep Roots “Mark O’Connor’s Duos with its different styles and moods, and what violinists should learn through playing them together, exactly as playing the Bartók Duos.” -Peter Kovatz, The Leopold Auer Academy, Hungary www.amazon.com/Duo-Mark-OConnor/dp/B00ZIAOOHC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1439761895&sr=8-4&keywords=mark+o%27connor
some of the strumming (sorry I don't know what you call it on a violin) in the middle of the song "rocked," reminds me of how apocalyptica played rock on four cellos.. Some people say nothing new is happening in music just rehashing old things, but this arrangement proves there is an innovative direction in music...
+Michael Bub Not according to Monroe's publisher. We were advised to rename it with the apostrophe so we followed their instructions on it since they handle the legal rights to the tune.
+Mark O'Connor He may have stated it both ways in that it shows up with varying versions. But we are going to call it both as well... and also cite Jerusalem Ridge in the titles as well.
+ksaylard Darol Anger has a DVD out featuring Casey Driessen and Rushad Eggleston. Driessen also has short videos out for download on his site. These would be two of the best resources you could find.
+Bruce Bushaw Not according to Monroe's publisher. We were advised to rename it with the apostrophe so we followed their instructions on it since they handle the legal rights to the tune.
+Bruce Bushaw It appeared on Heroes as Jerusalem's Ridge and cleared by Kenny Baker on that as well as the publisher. Warner Bros went over it with a fine tooth comb. We believe he might have been impacted by his own trip to Jerusalem and described it both ways, the ridge where he was born and his trip abroad.
+Mark O'Connor On the first two recordings "Bill Monroe - Weary Traveler" and "Kenny Baker Plays Bill Monroe" (both 1976) it is listed as "Jerusalem Ridge". I'll stick with the verifiable historical record, and what I hear coming out of Bill's and Kenny's mouths. I can understand WB bullying people into using their copyrighted title, but that doesn't make correct.
+Bruce Bushaw Warner Bros didn't bully anybody into changing the title, they simply wanted the legal title so they could list it clearly and they could pay the writer. Baker cleared the title when the Heroes album was recorded and Monroe is on the same record. WB checked with their representatives as they were exact on all legal matters like proper crediting of intellectual property. People do change titles and the composer certainly has every right to if they want. Mark O'Connor has changed a few titles over the years as well.
+Mark O'Connor Thanks for taking the time to discuss this. Can't change the past - the version that I listen to most (Kenny Baker Plays Bill Monroe) was, is, and always will be titled "Jerusalem Ridge".

Fiddle playing of this caliber gives me gooseflesh. Just wonderful...

very nice
Seems like, I believe that this kind of music could save a man drowing in the deep waters.
Omie wise
Great version!
FYI there is no apostrophe s at the end of Jerusalem. It is titled Jerusalem Ridge....
+Michael Bub Not according to Monroe's publisher. We were advised to rename it with the apostrophe so we followed their instructions on it since they handle the legal rights to the tune.
+Mark O'Connor It is also listed on Heroes with the apostrophe and Warner Bros was also very through in checking the real copyrighted title.
+Mark O'Connor He may have stated it both ways in that it shows up with varying versions. But we are going to call it both as well... and also cite Jerusalem Ridge in the titles as well.
Nice! ;) Post more! :D
Maggies wrist cover?, is neat. )))
I'm the 1000 like. Yipee.....

Any place to find out how to do this back ground rhythm fiddling?

name come from?
hello
Sorry, I meant to say Northern Michigan University rather than Ishpeming.
My goal! Just so you'd know!
:D
I like it faster like Michael cleavland
Great version, rendition, and playing. However, I don't think there is any possessive in the title.
