Just a few weeks ago, on the first annual World Fiddle Day, Bluegrass Life asked their Facebook fans to name their favorite fiddler. Kenny Baker was the overwhelming favorite, and this video shows just a few of the reasons why. Deep, emotional truth in every note, first-class musicianship, and other than Tater Tate, the best tone in the business. Kenny Baker was the ultimate bluegrass fiddler.

A great tune Bill and Kenny a great fiddle and mandolin duo. Never heard a bad Monroe recording.

Always been curious what exactly "The Dead March" referred to. Such a gentle melody despite its name.
Drew Howard

that's a wonderful number right there... It's on the Uncle Pen album so he must have learned it from him... do you know anything about its origin?

a "stately" tune I will never tire of listening to this tune. I will always play this one again and again. SMB
