Only if you're playing it as a fiddle instead of a violin…

Looks ok to me.

If Doug Kershaw is holding it that way, I got no problem with it.

I have his greatest hits CD rattling around here somewhere.

Hes not really playing it, its the equivalent of lip syncing.

Only if the bridge is covered in rosin dust, keeps the notes from sliding off while he waves the fiddle around.

I beg to differ! I've seen him live, and that's how he plays!

What Critter said. Ravenscraft blasphemes! Doug's been playing like that for, what, 60 years?

I saw him live twice years ago. What a concert! Probably around the time the video was shot (1990).

And the YouTube poster has the title of the song wrong, it's "Diggy Diggy Lo," not "Diggy Liggy Lo."
