  • One of the great things about the National Oldtime Fiddlers’ Contest in Weiser, Idaho is the quality and quantity of jam sessions taking place around the clock in the surrounding campgrounds: Fiddletown, Stickerville, Taylor’s Corner, Slocum Hall, and elsewhere.
    A variety of styles are represented depending on which camp you visit at a given time: Bluegrass, Oldtime, Texas style, Swing, Celtic, Jazz, and others.
    The little campsite of Scott and Anne Sumner ("Camp Sumner") is just one of a multitude of places where good tunes are enjoyed every year. The “Camp Sumner Sessions” is a series of videos documenting the jamming that took place there during the third full week of June 2015.
    The featured fiddlers in this "Camp Sumner Sessions" series are Daniel Carwile from Kentucky, Katrina Nicolayeff from Idaho, and Jesse Maw from Montana.
    We kick the series off with Daniel’s “Say Old Man, Can You Play Fiddle?” He is ably accompanied by Bryan "Oak" Jimmerson (Texas) Luke Price (Oregon) and Anne Sumner (Oregon).
    At the end of this video Daniel gives some "lick credit" to the late J.T. Perkins, a legendary fiddler from Alabama with a distinct style, who was a major influence on an untold number of fiddlers, including Daniel.
    Daniel is featured in several other previously released videos on the Joy of Fiddling channel.

      You and me both, @georgegriffith5583. Every time I rewatch one of Daniel's video I see and hear something new I swear I never saw or heard before. New notational gems revealed every time.

      @ChipQ, it's no coincidence that Daniel is sitting in with these particular pickers. All of them can be consistently counted on to ride right along in the pocket.

    Well sir, you're also absolutely right. I'm one of Orville's nephew's and I appreciate good music when I hear it. Especially breakdown fiddle music with no distortion equipment altering the sound. Mr. Carole is very impressive. I'd stop and buy a ticket anytime.

      Honored to have any kin of Orville's drop by the Joy of Fiddling channel. Wondering if you've see this, muddbugg83? I think it sums up nicely how we feel about Mr. Burns around here. th-cam.com/video/gagHalDZ7EA/w-d-xo.html

    Man that makes me happy,
    I was blessed with a father that played the fiddle with passion and drive like that.
    He was hard to keep up with,and I MISS THAT CHALANGE. Oh yeah, he was a better dad than fiddler.
    THANK YOU FOR THAT TUNE,That's what I'm used to.

      It's true. Daniel was just warming up at this particular jam session and getting a feel for a fiddle he'd never played on before.

      That was Daniel giving a little "lick credit" to late Alabama fiddler J.T. Perkins, of whom Daniel is an admirer.

    • @joyoffiddling
      @joyoffiddling  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agreed, Michael. Glad you took the time to look further into J.T. Perkins. Like a lot of the "champion" fiddlers from his era, J.T. was better known in his region of the country, but his influence was felt beyond those southern states. I'm from the west coast and I've heard people playing J.T. Perkins' licks and arrangements and they've never even heard of J.T. Perkins. He had a very distinct personal style and even composed some original fiddle tunes which he also recorded. Perkins is long gone but some of his albums are still available on line. Daniel lives in Kentucky these days but his home state is Alabama so he was exposed to J.T. during his formative years and still references him, both in conversation and when playing fiddle, as is evident in this very video.

    Nothing strange about other musicians having differing opinions. We all like what we like. Ain't it great.

    • @joyoffiddling
      @joyoffiddling  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely, muddbugg83. Although, as far as Daniel and Orville are concerned, I don't think our opinions are all that different. Sounds like we're both great admirers of two exceptional fiddlers. When I say that Orville's bowing was "supernatural", I mean it as the highest of compliments. His technique was coveted by all and duplicated by none.

  • @muddbugg83
    @muddbugg83 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Daniels bowing technique is his own and would be hard to beat. However, I believe the most unique bowing technique belonged to Orville Burns. Also, if not the very best, his 'Say old Man' was equal to the best.

    • @joyoffiddling
      @joyoffiddling  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      To me, Daniel's bowing is power with elegance. Orville's bowing was downright supernatural. As for Mr. Burns' prowess on "Say Old Man", I would like to recommend to anyone who has not seen it, a short video on this very channel titled: "A Brief Conversation About Fiddler Orville Burns". In it, Orville fanatic Scott Sumner talks about being so moved by a jam recording of Orville blazing away on "Say Old Man", that he punched out his car windshield. True story.

    very good! I think it would sound just fine, and maybe a little better, with just Luke's accompaniment. His technique of walking up the base line is really good.

    • @joyoffiddling
      @joyoffiddling  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Howdy @Xiangqi for Chess Players. No question that Luke's back up picking is top shelf, but it's worth noting this is just a casual jam session and not a performance or album recording. Everyone's focus is on having fun in the moment. No thought is given to posterity or how many people will see a video or what their critique might be. Everyone is free to experiment and try new things. It's easier to observe what Luke is doing due to his angle and proximity to the camera, whereas Anne and Brian's six string contributions are more obscured. Each of them has their own distinct voice on their instruments that can't be fully appreciated unless one is there to experience it in person. And I can guarantee you that if given the choice between having only Luke as back up or adding Anne and Brian to his own personal wall of rhythm, Daniel would without question choose the latter. In fact, it was Daniel who gave Brian the nickname "Oak"...in honor of his solid metronomic back up.

    Luke price is there on the right on guitar. Little do most know he is a killer fiddle player himself.

    • @joyoffiddling
      @joyoffiddling  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Indeed, you can see Luke sitting in on tenor guitar in many of Daniel’s “Camp Sumner” videos. And yes, Luke knows his way around a fiddle. (I believe this was the year Luke won his first National Open Champion title.)

    • @serisingh
      @serisingh 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Luke has won the national title 3 times. 2014, 15, and 17. www.fiddlecontest.org/past-winners-2/ I'm sad he hasn't recorded a fiddle album. He is one of my favorite players.

    • @joyoffiddling
      @joyoffiddling  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      As far as Luke not having a fiddle album, you might want to look up "The Undeniable Groove of the Texas Breakdown". It's one he recorded with Matthew Hartz and Anthony Mature. Highly recommended and available from all the usual online music stores.
