I need to share this with somebody...anybody...

[jorno67]

I just heard "The devil went down to Georgia" on the radio and after all these years I just have to say the devil is clearly a better fiddle player than Johnny.

1. It's practice...

Centruies of practice.
And Johnny wasn't really that much of a savant.

[Arkansas Granny]

2. I'll bet the devil made you say that.

[jorno67]

3. Geez...I hope not!

I don't have time to be possessed right now.

Wait a second! Arkansas Granny?

"Granny does your dog bite?"
"no, Child, No"

I think you might have a vested interest in this subject...Are you Johnny's Granny?

[Arkansas Granny]

8. "no, Child, No", I'm not Johnny's Granny.

And I've only gone down to Georgia once, and I wasn't with the devil.

[jorno67]

9. I feel compelled to believe you...

Or am I being possessed again?

4. At 75 or 76, Charlie is still one danged good fiddle player!

He went through three bows and was working on his forth by the end of the concert we saw in PA a few weeks ago. I took the kids since both play violin now, but my dad and grandfather played fiddle and guitar in their country band (The Coatesville Ramblers). I wanted the kids to see some real 'fiddle playing' to honor my dad

and neither one is name Johnny

5. He just had a band of deamons behind him.

6. I would

have voted for the Devil, too.

He was a smoking hot fiddler...

7. Concert I saw? Devil and Johnny played both parts.

So it may be a wash.
