wild to see these old clips. ol' Michael turned out to be the best fiddle player on the planet
Uh I think he was born the best fiddle player in the world.
@@suckOnThese3 i know what you're trying to say but his teacher in this clip says he struggled at first.
I love Michael Cleveland.
me too.............
His only complaint was they put his Dr.Pepper in a small container.....ahahaha what a gem
😂 hilarious!
What an absolute legend he has become! One of the absolute greatest on a fiddle!
I'm a professional musician and absolutely loooove Michael Cleveland would give anything to perform with him again , he is the best fiddle player and musician I have ever heard plus he is the most lovable man on the planet ,a true gentleman
Michael is a true prodigy - gifted from God. He can play fiddle, mandolin, and guitar with equal proficiency.
That comes from practice and dedication, not God.
@@adamplentl5588 he started playing well at an early age, so God was in there.
@@mitzioden4926 no there was no God involved. Watch interviews with his teachers. He struggled terribly due to his disability and only through rigorous practice did he become skilled.
The only people who say things like you are people who have never become good at anything. Please shut up when you don't know what you're talking about.
@@mitzioden4926 Why can't you just let it be his accomplishment, instead of attributing it to a non-existent god.
@@TijmenZwaan if God is non existing, why does He bother you so much?
This is why we, soldiers, do what we do. Thank you young man.
This os awesome to see just discovering him today and seeing he is basically a metal equivalent of a shredder on guitar
He was amazing then and still is amazing till today. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️🙏🏽
God blessed this kid with a great talent.
What an outstanding musician an man he grew up to be.
Miracles. Thank you Jesus. Michael is a truly gifted person. What a sweetheart. 🦢⭐️🎻👍❤️
When your bow is attached to your soul, eyes can only get in the way.
Michael is a testament to life! To have faced and defeated so much adversity in his life. Thank you Michael and may our Father continue to use you as an example of what life can be if you accept who you are and make the most of it. Life is beautiful.
What an amazing talent, he had amazing parents who really helped him flourish. Thank you to both of them and him for blessing us with his amazing talent.
Man what a loveable character Michael is!
Only just found this phenomenal talent and am loving watching his clips.
Thank you for the music Michael you are one of my heroes and an inspiration to me and many wow what a talent
What a guy, an inspiration to anyone who ever dreamed of succeeding god bless him🙏
I hope he has a beautiful wonderful music career and life. He truly deserves it. With everything he’s fighting, to have such passion and optimism. I’m going through stage 4 colon cancer and can barely play my guitar. But he’s inspired me greatly with his story.
Not to worry, he has since released 10 albums and won a Grammy for "Best Bluegrass Album" and has been honored with the National Heritage Fellowship, the highest honor awarded by the US Government's National Endowment of the Arts. So his musical career is more than just fine!
Hope you get well brother🙂
What a beautiful community he grow up in.
And He turned out to he the best fiddle player in the world.
I actually just found Michael via TH-cam the other day picking bluegrass guitar, cool to see the full story.
What a sweet boy he was. Against all odds he had an amazing career.
Still incredible today. Wow - just saw him perform magically with Bela Fleck last night in Durham, NC. Unbelievable precision and incredible speed!
I would have loved to have seen that show!
Tank you gold to give this talent to Michael Cleveland.
I love myself to play irish and shottish folk music with the fiddle, he is my Inspiration to will be better!!!!!
The best on the whole goddamn planet.
1:37 haha that girl is like are you serious?
I wish you all the Best Michael in New 2024!!!!Stay happy and helthy!!!👍☺️
Absolutely bad ass
God Bless , Hats off to Michael
Wow inspiring and powerful Michael Cleveland is amazing wish i could've discovered him sooner
Great Máster Cleveland. ❤
His lack of vision must of directly transferred to hearing... I have been playing music since I was a kid, and it helps me to close my eyes to listen to every note. His hearing must be on a completely different level... When he is playing it must be so peaceful.
1:38 legend has it, little girl grew up in that spot, never moved, jaw slack, in amazement hahah
He could shred before i knew how to tie my shoelaces
Heheh
Michael is absolutely amazing
He’s a genius.
Bless you bro from Ireland 🇮🇪 keep on jammin
He is a blessing from God!
Same God that fucked him up to begin with?
I love bluegrass and i love this guy👏😃
Poor mom. Imagine her son being like that and then hating her for it. Im glad that was short lived
i love it............fantastic...........
Heart warming
Wow, what a kid, way to go Michael.
wow!
these are the types of people that deserve to have 99% of the wealth
Beautiful story x
He's playing the blues while playing the blues 😂😂😂 love him ❤❤❤
wow amazing!!!!!
A direct gift from God. God is good.
Shame on you for sticking your disgusting god in there, that could have given him a musical talent and a normal and healthy life. What kind of terrible immoral god do you beliefe in? Stop being superstitious and keep that rubbish to yourself.
God is good indeed.
Which god?
@@bashkillszombies There is only one.
@@tarheelcatholic3394 Agreed. The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Amen.
Turned out to be an absolute genius!
AMAZING !!!!1
These types of babies, people nowadays think they need to abort. 😞 And look at what a wonderful person he is and a great life he has!
Who needs eyes when you’re literally a violin god
Wow 🤗❤️😎🙂
I want every one of the pro choice people who say, "well, what if the baby is going to be deformed or mentally impaired " as an argument to watch this and go watch him now.
I hear you!!! Most physical deformities can be overcome. There is an Italian singer named Andrea Bocelli who is a very popular singer and is blind. When his mother was pregnant w/him, the dr advised her to get an abortion b/c he would be born deformed. She said "NO!!!" He was born w/congenital glaucoma. Its'a VERY sad and evil state of affairs when babies need to be in perfect physical condition to live!!!!
Google algorythm brought me this Wizzard to Hamburg City , Germany !
Genius!
They didn't mention his grandparents had been taking him to shows since he was 6 months
Sorry Michael, but I am absolutely speechless!
The beginning sound made my ears die lmao
He needs to play with Billy Strings.
He has there's a video on TH-cam
Brave boy
Inspired me.
at 1:38 that girl in pink is just in awe and so am I!🤠
for the love of god can someone help me, i cannot think of the name of the song hes playing here and its killing me 1:32
🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
He and Stuart Duncan are the best fiddle players in the World!
Where do you put Mark O'Connor in the picture?
@@keithlenik2074 And Mark O'Connor too! :-)
😘
he might be blind, but he see's alot more than seeing ppl do
Just give the kid some Dr Pepper!!
How dose my dude tune up
The same way every other violinist who has any talent--especially fiddlers--do; by ear.
What’s sad is he BLAMES his mom for being the best violinist in the world or history at that?!? I’d left him at the river
i knew he was an incredible player but i didnt realize he's that smart, sounded like a 50 year old at 9 y/o
