Most fans of Country and Bluegrass music know Marty Stuart as a master musician who excels on the guitar and mandolin, but truth be told he can play most anything with strings on it.
I was checking some videos last night when I happened upon one featuring Marty playing the timeless fiddle classic “Orange Blossom Special” on – you guessed it – a fiddle.
Well, the requests for more music by The Petersen Family Bluegrass Band just keep rolling in.
I had no idea when I first featured them on here just how popular they would turn out to be.

That post received a lot of positive feedback, including several requests for me to feature more of this talented young group’s music.
Well, today it’s my pleasure to share another great performance by The Petersens. [Read more…]
