But Vassar's was way better

The original fiddle parts come from 'Lonesome Fiddle Blues' which Vassar Clements put together in 1948. Charlie Daniels played guitar for him on a 1974/5 album with this song... and then Charlie added his own to it later on... which is true of most everything (music, boats, and sports included..)

For something a little different Blue Sjy - with Dickie Betts. When asked about playing with the long-hairs in the Old and In The Way band ... (Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, Peter Rowan, John Kahn, and John Hartford) he quipped,... "Hair ?...I just see some mighty fine musicians).
