What a great video all about Ervin T. Rouse! I didn't know all that stuff about him. He could play his fiddle with his feet! Wow! I liked Chubby's version, but Scotty Stoneman is my very favorite! Thanks for sharing that info. OBS first copyright in 1938,

If interested more about Rouse and OBS, check out the book Fiddler's Curse by Randy Noles. Well researched and written. Randy's a member here, too, though posts infrequently.

Excellent, one of those songs that just incredibly move me. I went to the Long Beach, WA Bluegrass festival, for an anniversary get away with the Mrs. A band of young guys, Nick Dumas was the fiddler, played it. Amazing how new blood can wring new breaks outta that song and make it special all over again.

Being that I'm from Jacksonville, I found it interesting. Did you also know that Jesse McReynolds wrote the tune 'Dixie Hoedown" while in Jacksonville,FL ?
