Orange Blossom Time in the Spotlight

Referred to as "The fiddle player's anthem", and often just as "The Special", The Orange Blossom Special is considered to be the best known fiddle tune of the 20th Century

 This is an incredible song that is played and has been played by everyone.  In fact it is played so much that we often don't realize just how important the song is to the entire bluegrass genre.
The Bluegrass Legacy posted a story on this just recently on their Facebook site. "An exploration of an extraordinary song that helped define Bluegrass. Covered by musicians around the world, "Orange Blossom Special" is a song that challenges the virtuosity of all who play it."              ____________________________________________
