    Keep playing great, stay modest, and don't let things like what the interviewer said at the end affect you at all. You're way ahead of that kind of thinking.

    Get'er Done Carson. Nice job. You remind me of 2 men. Mark O'Conner who told the story of him going to a fiddler's "Camp" and sat in a room and played till he got it right. he always said it was the best thing for him even though it wasn't much fun at the time. And Ricky Skaggs who started playing about your age and never looked back. I think you'll be on the of the best and in line for your share of the gold. Keep it up Carson. Love to see what you do when you're 20.

    What a fine, fine little feller. Just as humble and well mannered. And, although it looked as if the interviewer was doing his best to get him to say something against his humility, this little Christian boy honored His Lord instead. And such talent His Lord has given him. I was just as impressed with his humility and grace as with his talent. Little Carson is very blessed, and very much a blessing.
    His parents must be so proud (in a humble, thankful sort of way) of their son.

    As a bluegrass musician and a teacher, clips like this make me want to puke and be so proud at the same time! lol. These kids are getting younger and younger and more and more talented. That's awesome. It's annoying that I've been playing for 29 years and some of these kids have more talent at 9 then I do now. Great job!!!

    A real fine fiddler Stan Howe asked me, What is the difference between a professional musician and a pepperoni pizza.Answer, A pizza can feed a family of four. It is hard to make a living in the music business. He does a lot of other things to get by but music is his life. No matter what you end up as KEEP ON FIDDLING. It will bring joy to you as well as others!

    Good job. Slow that Ragtime Annie down. Keep the original tune and beat. Fast doesn't mean good. Listen to the greats like Byron Berline, Baker, lots of others. They don't have to cheat with speed. Style and technique. You are nearly there already so you have a huge jump on everyone else. Michael Cleveland is one of the few who can really go fast and keep the original tune .
