"The American Music Shop featured a different artist each week. Concerts were given in a small, intimate theater and recorded live. In addition to the artists' own bands, the American Music Shop band accompanied the performers, giving these concerts a unique sound." (Written by Jason A. Cormier -IMDB Website)
"Mr. O'Connor, I want you to know that my grandfather, Ervin T. Rouse, wrote the Orange Blossom Special. And of all the people my family has heard, play that song......you are the best. Thank you for doing an awesome job on this song." -Desire' Meyers

If you like this, you may want to check out a video of Country Sisters (2006) performing Orange Blossom Special. They are an all-girl country rock band, from the Czech Republic. Linda Jarosova is their fiddle player at that time. Have fun & Enjoy!9 years ago

I am just gonna say it okay... This guy (Mark) is in a another stratosphere. I'm just saying that he plays notes with an ease that seems unnatural. Seriously... he is just crazy good. He seems to have ice water in his veins, and plays these seamless runs with a cool little grin on his face that makes it look like he is just about to fall asleep! Truly one of the very best musicians that we will ever see on this planet. That's just how I feel, so there you have it. Thank you for the post!9 years ago

I remember listening to my Daddy's oldest brother playing this on his homemade fiddle back in the forties. Brings back special memories. My uncle wasn't as good as you, Mark, but we all loved to hear him play. He had a recording system to put the performances on record. I don't know if any exist today. Thanks for posting this. Yes, this IS "Orange Blossom Special" at its best!10 years ago

I heard about ten seconds total of Orange Blossom Special mixed in with all that. And why the hell did he start playing the Flintstones theme?10 years ago

It's a shame we're no longer acquainted with the steam locomotives this song was written to evoke, once a daily feature of American life. You can just picture the Special headed down the track at 90 mph, the running gear a blur.The musicianship here just melted my face.10 years ago
