Awesome

That includes me you do understand. I am going to make that music rattle your brain, and if you decide to rattle mine, MMMMMM go for it.

Michael Here I am again. Love your music, Trust me why you die you and I are going to play till the Earthly Cows come home only better.

They won the best newest song in Flagstaff Festival several years ago .

I saw them live several years back really likable family.

I listen to this young man play this song every day since I discovered it and him. Micheal Cleveland is the best in the world. He is the king. No one can touch him. Probably the best to ever pick up a fiddle. At the very least, he is the best I have ever heard and I’ve damn near heard em all. He doesn’t even break a sweat while playing one of the most difficult fiddle tunes known to mankind. I read on his webpage the other day that he will be in a small Alabama town called Atmore which is the home of the Porch Creek Band of the Choctaw Indian Nation. Their Reservation is most likely where he will be putting on a clinic. I’m going to make every effort to go pay my respects to this fiddle player. Yall should too!

Wow!!! That was amazing!!

Anyone know is frank Daniels is still alive?

Only thing I can say is holy crap!

He plays so fast. i wonder if the strings get hot.

I like their port and starboard dresses.

Michael you are the best I have ever seen with my own eyes, and I heard your blind. To get to that level seeing takes years and you did it way less than those who can see. Darn I would love to know how you did it. I can play all woodwind instruments, but listening to you, has blown me away, trust me. Love you and your music in a way only you can tell, by me sending this to you.

Fantastic musicianship!!❤

Fantastic musicianship!!❤

This guy absolutely nailed it, GREAT JOB!!

This man is a musical genius. His rendition of Orange Blossom Special is one that will never be equaled.

1:11 tune starts

Beautiful family

What a treasure

Think about it, being blind he cannot read sheet music, so he must listen to a song being played by someone else, listen to it 2-3 or more times and memorize it at the time. Then he has to mentally change things around to suit his style of play. The guy has to be a genius. ALSO: note his fiddle: its a 5-string custom instrument. About 103% of fiddles are 4-stringers, but as he's playing at the0.50-0.57 mark and again at the 6:05-6:11 mark of the video, there's (5) tensioning knobs out on the end of the instrument, 2 on the near side and 3 on the far side. Also, looking closely at the frat, we can see the elusive 5th string. Further: in another venue I read that he was awarded the country-western musician of the year 10 years in a row.

OMG! I’ve heard Michael play numerous times, but this just absolutely is over the top! I keep thinking there’s just no way a person could get any better on the fiddle and then he does. He is absolutely the best fiddle player ever!

Awesome

What a delicious treat this is! New fan!❤❤❤

Great fiddling'. What was the outcome? Did she place?

Michael bet you would never hear or see me on line away, well you wrong, you come to me or I am coming to you bud.

We all love Sierra, but it'd be nice if you'd list the rest of the band in the header.

Michael you better come to Northern Ireland, We want you here.

Michael I love you man.

Good Lord this young man is cooking’ ! I mean absolutely wearing that fiddle off of the fret board! Effortlessly I might add. Never breaks a sweat. If that were me I’d soaked in sweet. That young man is working that fiddle. Make no mistake about it. Talent like that only comes around every one or two generations at best. We are Blessed to hear this fella play!

Hell of a song

WOWW I need to learn how to play Benny and Beas like that

Man can that boy fiddle

Gosh dang…. Somebody throw a bucket of water on that fiddle cause that boy just set it on fire… awesome

that version is uptempo to hell and will be hard to be match.. great job. come back and back again and again... my classical composer background is both amaze an thankfull.

Mr. Sullivan said to go ahead and bring his car around and he wants you to tell the kid with the fiddle to come back again next week .

Not very good

Is there a studio version of MC playing his favorite song? I'd love to hear him rip that fiddle up in high quality playing this!

Absolutely amazing, God bless Michael Cleveland

This must have been quite, quite, a show!

I'm gonna need me some Dixie after that....

Another virtuoso like Chris Thiele - but technical skill is no substitute for feeling and expressivity. All I hear are a lot of notes being played so fast I can barely keep up and follow the melody line. Hence the feeling of Monroe's marvellous composition is left in the ditch on this Interstate that goes nowhere. LOL - and then that guitar takes a solo and the entire bottom of my listening experience drops out. So after the applause dies down and I'm walking out of the venue what memorable feeling do I take with me? Or better yet what did that performance make me think or imagine? PS "wow" is not a thought or feeling with any serious staying power. How did this performance affect me as a human being in some sort of memorable lasting way - other than the cheap thrill of "wow" or "awesome"?

Awsome human

I cried 😭 tears of joy listening to your gifted artistry.

Thank you, oh sooo much, Michael Cleveland, you are a godsend for sure. I never would have guessed you are blind. You are a fine gentleman and highly gifted musician.

Mesmerising variations. Such a joy. Thanks for posting.

Why didn’t the fiddle get a chance to solo????

We love you not just because you're a cutie but you can shred!

he must have a halon fire system on his fiddle to keep it from catching fire,,,, I LOVE IT

I would love to pay you a visit Elaine and ask you if I could play this beautiful organ trying out all kinds of beautiful sounds. I would be so happy if you said yes.

GILLIS ' BANJO PLAYING SOUNDS VERY FRANTIC . HE IS TRYING FOR SPEED BUT IT DOESNT SOUND GOOD . SOUNDS MUDDLED AND TINNY . OTHERWISE , ITS A PRETTY GOOD BAND
