PHIL BAUGH, WITH BUDDY EMMONS, FIDDLIN' FRENCHIE BURKE, "CAJUN FIDDLE"

Here's more Phil Baugh with Frenchie and Buddy. On this tune, Phil is in more of a Nashville mode than a "fiddle tune" single note mode, with double stops, "banjo rolls," and bends using his foot-operated bending gizmo.

PHIL BAUGH, WITH BUDDY EMMONS, FIDDLIN' FRENCHIE BURKE, "BIG MAMOU"

More Phil Baugh, with some good coverage of his right hand picking technique on this cajun fiddle number. Phil takes a couple breaks here, as well as playing some fills-- with Emmons as a bonus. (It's always valuable to see what top-notch pickers do with two chords, and it's also always interesting to see hot Nashville cats playing more traditional material.)

thanks to Charlie McCardell for sending me this clip.
