Thanks to Julie Amundson for sharing this great recording of "Florida Blues" featuring  Louis Franklin on fiddle, Omega Burden on guitar, and Sleepy Johnson on tenor banjo: " think recording was late 1960's. a friend gave me a bag of cassette tapes to put on computer before they were to bad to play... and it didn't have the year."

a couple of days before making the album, I learned the arrangement from A 1973 Grand Masters video (yes, I said video) of Major Franklin during the competition - made it extra special to record this number with his sons!

Terry Morris - fiddle
Joey McKenzie - tenor guitar
Matt Hartz - standard guitar

this is an incredible memory for me that my friend, Lesli Jo Osborne, found and shared with me early this year.  I've been excited to share it with the fiddle community especially since few got to witness the extraordinary, truly spontaneous, masterful breakdown fiddling of the late, VERY great, Terry Morris first hand.

I can't think of a greater dream for myself at 15 years old than to play guitar with Terry Morris in a fiddle contest and I know Joey would have similar sentiments.  What a ride :)
