Some days a toe-tappin' fiddle starts to playing in the far reaches of my brain and I can't help but dance a little as it builds in intensity and finally just takes over my day. Of course, the best fiddle in the world is played by Doug Kershaw.
Doug Kershaw, the Ragin' Cajun, was born in 1936 in Tiel Ridge, Cameron Parish, Louisiana. His autobiographical song, "Louisiana Man" was the first song ever broadcast back to earth from the moon by the Apollo 12 mission in 1969. He and his wife Pam were married in 1975 and have 5 sons, all of whom are musicians like their father.
