If you never saw Doug Kershaw in concert, you have absolutely NO IDEA what you've missed!!! BEST fiddle player ever & a great guy, too!!! Met him at the Minnesota State Fair & saw him 3 other times. NEVER disappointed!!! 😁
I was a big fan of his in early 70s. In about 1979 or 80 he came to Kansas City to perform at the summer Music in the Parks program.my husband & I took our two kids & lawn chairs. He was performing in the small deck of a little travel trailer (of course being Doug Kershaw I'm sure he Cajun danced on & off of it the whole program). Can't tell you how many fiddle strings that wild Cajun broke but music was super from the first link of the bow to the last Cajun yell! I'm now 83 & still watch his videos on my phone. What an entertainer!!! Thank you Doug for all the years of happiness you brought!
To this day, Doug Kershaw remains largely underappreciated as a songwriter, fiddler (among many other instruments), and in overall coolness. Amazing performer.
+sportspenguin Doug Kershaw headlines the National Fiddler Hall of Fame Gala as he is inducted Sat., April 9, 2016 at Memorial Hall, Independence KS! Great showman and Cajun classic!! Y'all come honor Doug!! www.nationalfiddlerhalloffame.org
+eadg1111 I made the trip from Ohio and witnessed him being inducted.. 80 years old and can still play that fiddle and carry on like he was 21 ... It was well worth the trip...
I think back in 1968? On the Johnny Cash show, when Doug Kershaw, appeared as a guest, Johnny Cash, (whom I was also VERY FORTUITOUS), to meet, said that Doug Kershaw, was a virtuoso, of twenty eight, other instruments. To include the guitar, concertina, mandolin, the autoharp the dobro, and others, but the fiddle was his favorite instrument.
@@matocinstinalittlebeargarv5716 The "Spanish Moss" album dropped in 1970 and by 1973 he was on the Flip Wilson Show and all those variety shows...His version of 'Orange Blossom Special' is most peoples' favorite version of that era and everyone did that one.
I grew up in Gueydan, Louisiana in the 50s-60s. Rusty and Doug Kershaw were on the radio allthe time. They were from a really small place called teal ridge La. My grand ma said we were cousins, never proven, but I'll never doubt my grand ma. Louisiana Man is my fave.
Saw him in Lake Elsinore California, on the 4th of July in the early 80's. It was over 100 degrees out. I sweated all my makeup off, my shirt was wet, but I went up and told him I wouldn't have put up with the heat for anybody but him. I didn't know he was going to perform or I would have brought my three albums for him to sign. He was very gracious.
@@barbarachristoferson2757 Hello!!! How are you doing? Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you are a fan? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
not only was his music fun to listen to,... Doug was just a lot of fun to watch..... so much energy ,....how can you not feel happy watching and listening to him.... thanks for posting
I was lucky enough to see him in a lounge show on Fremont Street in Las Vegas for the price of a couple of bar drinks. As others have said the energy he has is amazing and he wnt through a half dozen bows while we were there. I won't ever forget it.
I am a 45 year old musician and had never heard of this guy until Son of a Louisiana Man played on my Pandora the other day. I instantly knew that this guy must be some kind of unsung hero of music. This video confirms it. His showmanship paired with such a fantastic song is really something special.
I am 49 and remember watching this man play fiddle on The Grand Ol Opree and other shows. I used to call him "Me. Ants in his pants" because of his racing while he played made him look like he had ants in his pants. lol He is a very obscure fiddler but man was he good. I am no country fan but sure smile when I hear him. lol
you never heard of him? hes the all time king of cajun music has been for about 50 years a living legend a bon a fide musical genius and a effin riot to see live
I'm a rock and metal fan, but let me tell you this, if you don't like Doug Kershaw, you don't like music! This man cannot be categorized. Just plays that fiddle like no one else ever has!
I heard him for the first time tonight and you just have to love this man for no other simple reason that he just exudes joy when he plays his fiddle and dances all across the stage playing............gotta luv it.
Been a fan since I first heard Louisiana Man on SF underground fm radio. Love him. I can tell you - if you like Schenker - you can't help but like Doug. Or maybe vice-versa. 8-)
Doug is The original Louisiana Man! I've enjoyed his music for about 50 years now. Great entertainer. I don't know where he got all that energy? Red Beans & Rice? Keep going Monsieur Kershaw
@@beverlyberger3171 Hello!!! How are you doing? Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you are a fan? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
I saw the Ragin' Cajun perform at an outdoor venue near Atlanta in 1973 and was so impressed that when I had children, I sought out fiddle lessons for all of us. Now they are interested in other genres, of music, but I still dance Cajun every chance I get.
I got the pleasure of meeting Doug Kershaw unexpectedly at Knotts Berry Farm when our children were on the same ride. He was a very nice man. Always loved his music so meeting him was quite an honor
Grew up in Natchez, Ms. On the Mississippi river bluff overlooking the lower Louisiana side. The whole area steeped in history, cajun cuisine, music and the blues. Honestly I don't remember all the legendary performers I've seen especially after I moved to Texas. "This song" makes me get up and dance! Doug Kershaw burns it down ❤ What could be any better?
Got see him in concert at Fan Fair 1989 at Tennessee State Fair . Enjoy every moment. Was on TNN channel cable . But see concert was awesome. Tv show Cajun Country. Back then. Try find The Father and daughter in band beautiful song. Got on video tape back then.
I had the pleasure of seeing him lead off the show for Tanya Tucker in the early 70s, and I'll tell you this. It was UNANIMOUS among everyone that he was the hit of the show, he had to be the hardest act to follow in show business history. There was not a foot in the audience that was not keeping time with him, and our nickname for him was "Rubber Legs", his whole body just vibrated with his music. I always loved cajun music, my first taste was Fats Domino in so many hit songs in the 50's, but Doug Kershaw will always remain #1 in my heart for Cajun.
Just became a huge fan love love this this man is in a league of his own never heard of him thanks to you tube found him and his unbelievable talent he sure should be in the hall of fame
I went to one of Doug's concerts waaaay back. Didn't know what to expect, really, as I just knew him from a couple of songs. I came out of the concert with my hair back like I had stuck my head out of a car doing 100 mph. What a performer...I'll never forget it...
I have never seen Doug Kershaw but he is my friend and DOUG > I HOPE BOTH OF US LIVE LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO MEET AND GREET YOU , I JUST TURNED 83 YEARS OLD AND THERE IS NO ONE I WOULD RATHER MEET IN ALL MUSIC MAKERS TODAY . GOD BLESS YOU SIR FOR SO MANY WONDERFUL MOMENTS LISTENING TO YOU PLAY ANY OF THE MANY INSTRUMENTS THAT YOU CAN PLAY YOUR AN INCREDIBLE PERSON .
Doug Kershaw, is a performers performer. He plays to and for the crowd. I met him at a concert, He was wearing the same black shirt with white fringe. He's a really nice guy. I enjoy his music.
My Dad (Purvis) Clement and his brother (Terry) wrote this song in the back of a pickup truck leaving Evangeline LA going to play a dance in Mamu LA. There were 5 brothers and 4 sisters. Now Grant (Scott La) is the only brother left and Carita Clement (Goodreau) Jennings La are the only ones left. Caritas husband Ronnie played drums and Linious Seymour played pedal steel. They can be reached for records, etc..
OMG I love this guys music and voice and his heart is sure there! I love all kinds of music, really from rock n roll, jazz, blues, gospel, country, Cajun, zydeco, opera, big band, instrumental I'm sure I left something out! When I was 18 I went to the NY world's fair and sat 2 hrs listening to Guy Lombardo's band and got his autograph! I'm sure many of you don't know who that was.
Awesome performer🎻👍🎻 and great song! I recall back in the early 70's back in my early honky-tonk days, us young jaspers would head out to the " Western Gardens" a dance hall/beer gardens in west Edmonton, AB, a few blocks from the Klondyker Hotel. This song would be played numerous time throughout the night, but when the neechess got rowdy a big free-for-all would commence, then they'd have to shut down the honky-tonk joint, clean it up, and open er up again...man those were fun times🙃😉😊😅.
I'm not from anywhere near Cajun country. But the Ragin Cajun has me stompin my foot & enjoying every note of this classic. Doug is an awesome performer & must be fantastic to see & hear live.
he is I saw him many years ago at our fair in Stockton CA and he tore the place up with his cajun music and he broke so many fiddle strings it was not funny
How could any one put thumbs down sad One greatest artist. Enjoy Doug Kershaw music since was on Nashville network. My dad enjoy listen his music I kind follow long. Awesome song. Truly love Cajun music: back 1989 at Fan Fair in Nashville ,Tn. State fair . Two thumbs up. 100%.
Doug is one with the fiddle there is no one who dances with the fiddle like that born to be on stage and make people want to dance much respect and love Brother 🙂
theres nothing crazy about that its totally sane that guy is the alltime champ of expressing the joy of life through music he was and is fucking awesome
This is what south Louisiana is all about. People getting together and having a good time. This is at Acadian Village in Lafayette. Was held outside under a pavilion. We always look for an excuse to have a good time with good food and good people. I live here and there is no other place like this. Life is good. Its just too short. Charles
+005658able Exactly...we were just there & at Vermilionville in Lafayette, then Avery Island...3 excellent tourist locations as a must see for all. Only thing better would of been meeting the one & only Doug Kershaw!
I went from Viet Nam to Germany , I met and became a good friend with a man from the swamps of Louisiana , who lived by boat & very religious. Nuff said .
one of the all time legends playing to such a small crowd , it's like a company picnic. and the band is flawless. My old man had some of his records and we would listen to them like crazy in the 70's
I saw him in concert once. He had a thing on stage with him that held a dozen or more bows. He played so hard the horsehair or whatever the bows were made of would break and be hanging of the bow
I first saw Doug Kershaw on the Johhny Cash tv show back in the late 60's and decided he was about the best performer I had ever seen. I love this guy and he seems to be ageless. What energy and what a treasure!
I sure wish I could dance to this kind of music. Have always loved Doug Kershaw and Cajun music in general. I grew up listening to my Grandfather play bluegrass music on his fiddle and banjo. So I grew to love the fiddle.
It's time for Doug Kershaw to be added to the country Music hall of fame !!!!!!!!!!! One of the greatest of all time , his music has been to the moon and back , Yes it was his music that was the first to be broadcast from the moon < The name of that song was Louisiana Man .

I was a kid, watching him on channel 8, PBS. Every chance I got to watch him, I did as he is one of my favorite entertainers!
Kershaw, never got the love/recognition he so deserved. He was so talented at playing this very specific, Louisiana regional music.
perhaps the greatest performer ever, extraordinarily underrated, just doesn't get any better than this. Lord thank you for the gift of Doug Kershaw!
I agree!
Amen!! Had to be there. Goldie Hawn also big fan!! Palomino Club!!! ❤❤❤❤
This is just plain fun to watch and to listen to!
Doug Kershaw is in a class all by himself. His music is so lively. A true genius.

I would've enjoyed seeing Doug and Roy Clark play together if Roy was still alive. I bet they would give each other a run for their money.
To this day, Doug Kershaw remains largely underappreciated as a songwriter, fiddler (among many other instruments), and in overall coolness. Amazing performer.

"There's the place where they find romance, where they do the cajun dance, steal a kiss at every chance, show their love with every glance."
Love this music! It came from Ireland.

Aka The Ragin' Cajun. I toured with Queen Ida. Queen of Cajun/Zydeco. There is no better music for a dancing good time.
I love this song R. I. p

Great entertainer
In his 50's at the time, and what energy! Obviously a man who loves his work.
Music is good for you!
I've got good energy at soon fifty two
Gotta love dem Cajuns! Hey man trow Dat cow ova Tha fence some grass!
All these fiddler singers are good...🎉
My favorite 😍 For Ray ♡♡♡
Seen him lots of time, love him ❤️
..still alive...from Canada
I know a lot of you will think I am crazy, but if I could go back in time to see one performer in their prime again, it would be Doug Kershaw
theres nothing crazy about that
its totally sane
that guy is the alltime champ of expressing the joy of life through music
he was and is fucking awesome
you are right on the money
Trust me - you would. I was able to. I'm a massive Schenker fan - but I really appreciate how he is *now*. Have loved Doug all the years...
As far as I am concerned, Doug Kershaw never left his prime. Doug’s music is just as relevant today as it was way back then.
agreed
What an entertainer
The only player in the world who can do rock fiddle! Love it!
Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull did pretty well @ rockin the fiddle but I'd much rather listen to Doug. He is timeless.
Hate to break this to you but Kenny Lovelace who played with Jerry Lee Lewis is the pioneer of rock on the fiddle
Rednex can do it pretty good.
Doug's cover of Subterranean Homesick Blues is WONDERFUL! Go find it, and see if you just start dancing.
This is what south Louisiana is all about. People getting together and having a good time. This is at Acadian Village in Lafayette. Was held outside under a pavilion. We always look for an excuse to have a good time with good food and good people. I live here and there is no other place like this. Life is good. Its just too short. Charles
+005658able Exactly...we were just there & at Vermilionville in Lafayette, then Avery Island...3 excellent tourist locations as a must see for all. Only thing better would of been meeting the one & only Doug Kershaw!
the absolute king! his artistic level is astronomic! nobody absolutily nobody could cope with him except hank williams. the real lousiana treasure!
Did you ever go to a Cochon de Lait day? It's been too many years for us.
i wanna go 8)
I went from Viet Nam to Germany , I met and became a good friend with a man from the swamps of Louisiana , who lived by boat & very religious. Nuff said .
one of the all time legends playing to such a small crowd , it's like a company picnic. and the band is flawless. My old man had some of his records and we would listen to them like crazy in the 70's
He breaks every violin rule out there and yet I love every second of it! 🤣
I saw him in concert once. He had a thing on stage with him that held a dozen or more bows. He played so hard the horsehair or whatever the bows were made of would break and be hanging of the bow
Love Mr. Kershaw! Such energy.
Saw him at sportatorium, in Dallas. Set place on fire.
Wow ... We need a Doug Kershaw in Canada, liven up this place! Ontario Canada
Met and one in the U.S. Army, good friend
This song makes me feel s happy!!
Omg Canada certainly lost out on you guys. 💚
When I see Doug play I feel so wonderful.
Just a few in my lifetime have moved me so naturally.
Makes me proud to be from Louisiana.
The man can play that's for sure...
Love his fiddle playing and showmanship on Diggy Diggy Lo!
Doug Kershaw is crazzyyyy 👍
I first saw Doug Kershaw on the Johhny Cash tv show back in the late 60's and decided he was about the best performer I had ever seen. I love this guy and he seems to be ageless. What energy and what a treasure!
This man is THE BEST
Love the way he sings and plays the fiddle! What a showman!
Now that’s a performer!
I sure wish I could dance to this kind of music. Have always loved Doug Kershaw and Cajun music in general. I grew up listening to my Grandfather play bluegrass music on his fiddle and banjo. So I grew to love the fiddle.
The great one
I love Doug Kershaw I love his songs.😁
