The Raging Cajun!!@ Loved his Music all My Life
True Louisiana sound from the finest virtuoso fiddler. Laissez bon temp roulet!!
As a old trapper I couldn't get anuff of that song still love it
Today not many songs for a
Trapper to relate to but this one
Delivers 😁👍👏👏
It's hard to find a country singer who hasn't covered this song. It's one of the most respected and loved songs in that community, and rightfully so.
I've been blessed to call this man my friend of over thirty five years. Took some younger females to see him when he was in Texas few years back cause they had no idea what fiddle music was. After the show I introduced them to him and they were amazed at how friendly and down to earth such a star could be. He was, is, and will always be a very special person in my life that has taught me so much. May his music live on for years to come. Hope to see you again soon.
HIS "Play Fiddle Play" takes me to a higher level ! He oozes charm and musicality.
I was so blessed to meet Doug Kershaw in a Long's Drug Store in Greeley CO... and he was so sweet. I told him I loved his music... and it was just a very special memory!
That STYLE! The suit, the hair, the 'tude. AUTHENTICITY Doug, You are an International Treasure... .... 🥰💓🥰💓🥰💓🥰💓🥰💓🥰💓🥰💓🥰
I have been blessed to be able to see Doug perform many times in Las Vegas. I used to sneak my daughter - who played violin - in to see him and we had to stand in the doorway because they wouldnt let her in to the bar area.
I have been a fan of his since 1964. He is just Awesome.
Pure Gold!!!!
More than 50 years ago. Wow. I like the slower, clearer singing, too. He's just magic.
The "Ragin' Cajun"!
I saw him play this song on tv long ago and he really got into it, kicking his heels up, jumping around.
This sound and spirit hearkens back to Acadia and Beausoleil and the Micmac's brave fight for freedom. Come into the forest primeval and we'll give you eternal rest!
Doug shared Hank Jr. and my bus in Baton Rouge ,LA many years back. Hank Jr was there, Willie, Merle Kilgore, David Allen, and others..all day outdoor.
I saw him first on the Johnny Cash TV show. I was mostly a fan of rock, but I liked this guy immediately.
amazing, I knew a "brother" named SCOPE who worked at tire king in Fayetteville,NC, he was mesmerized by Doug opening for some rock bands at Cumberland county arena, said Doug had as much soul as James Brown
what talent, what fun, what luck that he is from here, louisiana!
What luck what fun dat his Manager was best friends wit mah daddy and Mai’s Doug became like a best friend to me he also signed mon chapeau
Douglas James Kershaw - in a league of his own!
Good Lord this good. Thanks!
Visiting Nashville the first time in '73 dropped into a bar late one night, only a few customers, one of whom was Doug Kershaw sitting alone at a table over a drink.... so happened he recorded a song , Rock & Roll I Gave You The Best Years of My Life by Kevin Johnson through Tree Music, Nashville, Kevin on a label I was forming, this to be his first release... I ambled over explained my connection, a big smile and an invination to join him taken and an enjoyable hour or so following on shared music favourites many of whom were his buddies, Waylon, Willies, Cash, Leon Russell... one of the friendliest people I've had the fortune to meet over time, Jerry Lee Lewis, Kinky Friedman included...
He and his brother rusty came to Nashville in 1960 promoting this song😊❤😊❤😊❤
That song is a great story. I listen very closely great singer, congratulations to a lengthy career.
A blast from the past
Gotta love him.
Wow, rufneckin in the gulf, had a gf from Jennings, pure cooney
Top Gator 🐊 Man.
The kids sitting in front seem unenthused while a Cajun legend plays an old favorite. Oh well😊
If you're gonna play in Texas, you've got to have a fiddle in the band
I use to see his brother PeeWee, perform at dance halls around southeast Texas back in the 60’s and 70’s.
That Lead Guitar is Hot but not for "Louisiana Man"
