To all the folks commenting. This was completely unexpected, I was there with Mike for a gig and I just pulled out my phone and captured. Sorry for the shaky video but I was in a crowd of people and that's why you are hearing all the talking. Many there had no idea what they witnessing. I am just glad I had a chance to capture the moment.
Some people in that crowd are very disrespectful ! Great job playing that fiddle young man . I’m sure Bill is grinning !(absolutely did that song justice )
If I were a cop, I would have written a ticket for everyone who was talking while Michael Cleveland played a country blues version of Amazing Grace on Uncle Pen's fiddle. Holy cow. He should have charged them before he played it so they'd shut up and listen to a living legend honor a passed legend.
It is so deeply funny to me the woman is struggling with the tuning then realized "oh hey Michael Cleveland is right there" hahhah its like you are practicing a shot in basketball and after a while figure you might as well ask LeBron James, who has been standing next to you the whole time, if he has any ideas.
Why is it that some people have to talk over everybody and every thing! They just can't shut up. Sooo annoying! Could hardly hear that beautiful fiddle.
Not because its old .. but because its in a museum ... there are mych much older instruments proffesionally played .. i loved it .. what a gem .. both of them

Michael is a one of a kind and the best.
Simple song loaded with an abundance of soul by Michael!

Good Stuff! Thanks for sharing!
The way they are dressed makes it appear that the temperature is cold, but there sure is a lot of hot air being passed among them!
I was there that day. The winds registered at 85 mph.

Jeez. This little gem . Wow. Gut ripping lazer.
Fantastic event. Bill Monroe would love it.
What's the point of Michael even playing if y'all are going to talk the whole time?
yeah, fellas, get it quiet!

Literally said the same
that old fiddles talks!
Should have played Soldiers' Joy, then the Boston Boy, then Jenny Lynn......
Looks like the camera operator had a little of uncle pens moonshine
So rude! People talking..Reminds me of people who blow their nose in a restaurant..Don't even realize who is playing.. Great job Michael!
Big mouths!

No one cares to hear these guys blow hot air! Shut up and listen to Mike play!
Mostly talking it to death and very little fiddle playing.

Michael can play much better than that believe me.

She handed him a badly out of tune fiddle? Really?
Well it is like a hundred years old
