- A sweet old fiddle tune and one of Chubby's most popular. He has an incredibly bluesy style and amazing moves that he adds to tunes that are so uniquely Chubby. This tune has a beautiful break by Ellis "Buz" Butler on the dobro. Chubby loved to hear that "old biscuit board", as he called dobros...and he really loved to hear Buz play the dobro.
This tune has a real sweet sound. I wish music could be beautiful, heart felt and fun again. This generation could learn a lot from real musicians like Chubby Wise.
What a master fiddler. He adds a touch of the blues to a country classic.
It takes great talent to take a simple tune, turn it inside out and play it every which way. What a wonderful opportunity you are providing for those of us who never got the chance to see and hear this musician during his time on this earth. If we are lucky maybe we can all learn to play a little bit like Chubby Wise.and keep his music going on and on.
First heard this as a kid in Houston back in the 60's when Chubby cut this on the Stoneway label as a single. It was being played about once an hour down there.
Will still fill a BIG Texas dance floor when played!
Love this tune, listen to Chubby play it often, wish I could have been able to see him play it live. Rest in peace Mr Chubby
Absolutely beautiful and very beautifully done!!!🇱🇷👏👏👍✝️✝️🌹🌹🌹🌹💕❤️💓💗🇺🇸🛐
No body ever did or could play the fiddle like chubby wise or probably never will he was the best and still is r I p
Thank you, Ms. Mills. He was both a fine musician and a very kind, humble and fine gentleman and he is deeply missed by all who knew him.
This is probably one of the most beautiful, instrumental songs ever written, and this rendition with Chubby Wise on the fiddle, along with the dobro is absolutely awesome!...How can music get any better than this? ....Thanks for posting, enjoyed it very much!
Chubby wise is the man, maidens prayer. Love it.
Fiddling Chubby Wise was a National Treasure!
Right On, Still is thru this
nobody will ever take his place
Chubby Wise, he's the man. No one else ever played as well. Excellent posting.
Two instruments I love, fiddle and dobro! I can tell Chubby loved his fiddle.
This is my favorite instrumental of all time. I've never heard anyone play it as well as Chubby. In the mid 60s every morning my dad's clock radio would go off and he would let it play for a little while before he got up and got going. the DJ must have had a fondness for this tune because he always played it every morning. When I hear it now it takes me back to a better time and place.
This is my favorite fiddle tune and Chubby does the best ever.I have to listen to it every time I get on TH-cam.
FirstDoyle LastChandler Thank you very much for your kind words. He was a fine musician.
Gorgeous! Love how he comes up with endless variations on the theme without getting too note-y or losing the soul. Thanks for sharing.
I sure hope the Lord lets us listen to this old man play in Heaven !
My dad buz butler on dobro, knew he was playing with the best fiddle player whoever lived; and I think chubby felt the same about my dad.
Buz's dobro was built by the late Bob Reed in Oklahoma. It is beautiful solid mahogany with a beautiful sound. His name is inlayed in the frteboard in mother of pearl. i miss watching him play it. I now own and play it since his passing in 2002. I think of him everytime I play it..
Buz was a good Dobro "Picker", I got to Pick with Him a few times and He even met Me one day in Lake City and fixed a Dobro for Me. Buz was a good Guy. Just Never forget, We will see Him Again.
As Chubby Wise, the first "Bluegass" fiddler... is no longer with us... these videos are priceless. Thanx for posting!
Is he really the first Bluegrass fiddler? I didn't realize that!
Oh, what a beautiful rendition of Maiden's Prayer, by the legendary, one & only Mr Robert "Chubby" Wise. I can recall the very-first time I heard Chubby do this great tune .. it was in 1973, on local radio station 2MC, Mid North Coast, while holidaying at Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. It was Chubby, I think, who first turned me on to fiddlin' in this wonderful style. Thank you, Mr Wise.
Colin, The name is Russell "Chubby WIse, I should know, he was my uncle.
He really made that fiddle sing.
It doesn't get much better that this!
This is Sandra cross butler and I'm very proud that my dad played dobro with a man with so much talent god gave to them a lot of talent and thank full for all the good memories love you dad may you and chubby rest in peace
Sandra Cross Wonderful performance on the resonator guitar!
Sandra Cross
Can soome explain how this is related to badarzewska?
I understand why you are very proud.
My favorite fiddler of all, for many reasons.
My seven-year old has been playing fiddle for three years now. At the 29th Annual Arkansas Fiddler's Convention, he proudly played Maiden's Prayer. He's enjoyed practicing with the video of Mr. Wise.....have posted several vids of Boy as he's progressed with his playing over the years.....but to date, his crown accomplishment is Maidens Prayer. Thank you for sharing your videos...
Fitzgeraldtmarie You are very welcome and we are so happy they are helping raise a new generation of musicians. Thank you for writing!
Just love your version. Listen to it over and over.
The greatest, the maidens prayer, your the best
I started playing fiddle in 1975 and my dad . My dad bought me my fiddle and found a few of Chubby Wise albums. I sure enjoyed listening to Chubby way back then and now I get to see him on TH-cam. RIP Mr. Chubby Wise. Your style of fiddling suited me to a T. Kind of like T for Texas.
The Man was Great,,did you know he was the father of bluegrass fiddling? same as bill Monroe was father of bluegrass,,, My gosh had to be good times then,,and you started playing around when i did.....lot simpler and better times then,,at least for me,,in school,,no worrys,,knew it all,,wish i was still that smart,,
I really wish I had played more fiddle, but I stuck with the guitar so that I could play and sing and write music. I still play my fiddle and enjoy it. I just wish I had listened to a friend of mine way back then. He told me I should lay down the guitar and play the fiddle.
Beautiful. Rest in Peace DAVID RENCH, a good friend of Mr. Wise, and also the BEST fiddle player and that ever lived. My wonderful Dad,. Forever shall we love and miss you.
as long as we remember they are with us and in our hearts,
Yes xxx :'(
TheInvincibleViolet
all the greats are leaving us. still have mark o,conner
v irgil schmoe With all due respect to Mr. O'Connor, NOBODY will EVER equal the greatness of my father, DAVID RENCH. He was THE MOST EXCELLENT fiddle player, and so much more. Nothing more be said.

My favorite fiddle player. So sweet was his music.Also love Eddie Stubbs when the Johnson mountain boys were together. Some of the best bluegrass you will ever hear!
Thank you. Chubby was a treasure and put pure soul and a blues edge into his style. I enjoyed the Johnson Mountain Boys a great deal, too, an excellent band.
Thank you, Jimmie. Chubby was incredible and put a flavor and style into his fiddling like no other. He knew how much I loved those bluesy moves he put in there and would look over and grin sometimes with that look of his when he knew how good that was sounding to us. He is greatly missed by all who ever had the privilege of playing music with him.
I have always liked the Johnson Mountain Boys, as well!
He can make the violin, talk … the 1st time I have heard him....awesome.
The best of all I have heard so far.
Chubby has done passed on,but he was one of the greatest.
B.t.w Trenton ga.
Your so great , sorry for your passing
Loved Chubby Wise and miss him! I lost count how many times I've seen him at various festivals around the state of Florida...have many pics. of him and met, talked to him on several occasions-but never got to jam with him. As a member of the South Florida Bluegrass Assn. since 1981, I got to learn and jam on this song dozens of times over the years on mandolin and guitar.
John I had the Honor of "Pickin" with Chubby many, Many times and not once did I get tired of Listening to His Fiddling. If You were ever at the Waldo Festival You've seen Us many Times There. I'm a member of the North Florida Bluegrass Association. I have so many stories about Chubby I could write a Book.
brilliant music what sound r. I p chubby I could listen to that music all night
Beautiful
Chubby was a great fiddle player.bill t.wanamaker,Trenton ga.

Chubby Wise,Vassar Clements, A New One to the gods of the fiddle, Mark O'Connor, Out Standing All of them
Love the tumes and artists
Great music. This guy is awesome.
Yes, he was. A legend. One of the original cornerstones and foundation blocks of the origins of bluegrass music with Bill Monroe. He is deeply missed by all who had the opportunity to play music with him.
Terrfic... ode to my Dad xx
The King
"A Maiden's Prayer" is a composition of Polish composer Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska which was published in 1856 in Warsaw, and then as a supplement to the Revue et gazette musicale de Paris in 1859.
This melody was composed by a Polish lady (then 17) Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska, in 1856.
Thank you for sharing this information. An engaging melody and especially adapts well to strings. It was most certainly one of Chubby's most requested and was strongly identified with his repertoire. It sounds quite nice on the dobro here, as well. Thank you for your post.
Other than Hank Williams Sr songs, this is my favorite.
My father, David Rench, is the best fiddle player ever born. Coming from a long line of musicians, including his father, who taught him the rudiments of fiddling, Dad took off like a shot; a child prodigy and world-class fiddle player, he is well-known by amateurs and celebrities alike; many of which he has played live, or on recordings. To my father, who plays this song whenever asked, for those who love his style and proficiency,He is also well-known for ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL, his signature.
Great players - great song!
The amount of rosin on the fiddle
Awesome!!!!
love it
very good
ANOTHER DEAR FRIEND, GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN..HE AND ROSSI SPENT MANY DAYS AT MY HOUSE, WHILE LIVING IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER WENT WITH HE AND ROSSI, ON A BLUE GRASS TOUR.. WE LOST A WONDERFUL FRIEND AND MUSCIAN...
The music is so nice
❤❤❤
brilliant
Dennis I'm glad you enjoyed maiden's prayer have you heard my father on harp if not you can go to swamp woman blues smiley burnet my father did the melody and smiley wrote the song I think you will like it
im sure it was a old strat r a one and only fiddle by buddy black in alabama look him up
I had no idea Satan Clause played the fiddle!
ROFL!
All these fellows did GOOD - GREAT JOB!
Well what do you know? The "star" gives one of his musicians a VERY small break. Oh well!
My dad "buz " told me the man who made his dobro he gave it to my father and it was the last dobro he ever made before he passed away he had cancer
If I am not mistaken, at the time Buz played with my band, he had bought a dobro from one of the best known of all dobro artists, builders and musicians, R. Q. "Rudy" Jones, who was building and playing dobros and had a business in Oklahoma at the time. I remember Buz getting the dobro from Oklahoma. He was very proud of that dobro. It was top flight. Rudy Jones later moved to the Tallahassee, Florida, area and I met and played some music with him over there in 2008. He passed away in 2015, but I do not believe it was from cancer.
Skip, Rudy passed away from Parkinson's, The last time I talked to Him it was very hard to understand Him. He was a good Luthier and a good Musician Also. God Bless.
@@canopyroad the dobro was built by Bob Reed who worked for Rudy. Bob bought the business from Rudy and started putting his own name on them, but it's basically an R Q Jones with Bob's name on it. I still have the dobro and just played a festival a few days ago with it. It still has that great sound.
Jeez did this guy ever clean off the rosin off his fiddle...
I don't think it ever had time to settle
Ron Burgundy on Bass?!?!?!?!
I thought I was the only person who noticed. I’m glad I read down this far - also because there are so many fascinating comments about the kind of people who really have made America great.
I got the joke!
Anyone know what kind of a fiddle Chubby played?
i feel like its a viola, and not a fiddle he plays. it has a very deep sound. but then it could be tuned in DDAD, or a deep AEAE. this is called cross tuning. marcus martin did it alot.
Marianne Rasmussen Oh no its defiantly a Fiddle a Viola is much larger. It probably is tuned differently, the mic could be making it sound deeper as well possibly.
Chubby had 2 Fiddles, I don't know exactly what kind or Brand they were, But I could tell no difference in the sound or tone with either One. He also had a double fiddle case that they were carried in. Chubby was a Master Fiddler and a good Christian Man Also.
Who the heck is Badarzewska?
Young XIX century Polish composer. She created A Maiden Prayer's for piano.
This is not the same song as the one by Badarzewska.
