I have him on my i-Tunes this AM while bosses are out off office and his music can make a dead man dance!!

I didn't need some of my precious CASH music today but knew I could listen to Kershaw and keep my whole body rocking..

Just wondering if anyone else likes him....

G'day Patsy,

Living down here in the antipodes, the only exposure I have had to Doug's music was on the Johnny Cash TV Show and I have to say the man had talent, energy and humour! I greatly enjoyed his performances. Onya, mate! Enjoy!

I loved Dough's appearances on the JC Show ...and he used to guest on a lot of other shows ...he could fiddle just like ERvin Rousch who wrote Orange Blossom Special...upside down!

Patsy, Likewise I must have first seen Doug on Johnny's show and I wanted to see him live ever since then. I have seen most everyone in the business from the time I was in my early teens and I still go see who ever comes around.

But Doug never seemed to come up this way, that is until this last August when he was 300 and some miles north of me in Havelock Ontario.

Not to brag but I called in a favor from an agent friend who put me on the guest list of the Grand Ladies of Country Music who were also at that show and I drove up on my own. I got there shortly before Doug did and watched him pu;; in in his bus.

Later I sat near him in the merch booth and got a picture with him. I told him how long I waited to see him and how much I enjoyed his show.

He was great in every way... now I just might put on his CD but I have already had 3 cups of coffee. A little too much DK and I will be bouncing off of the walls LOL

That's a good story, Craig.. His music is awesome.. He never sings a "down" song and I always keep either my feet or, if I am alone, my body moving!!

I would love to see him live, also..

Patsy, I love Cajun music, Doug Kershaw, Jimmy C. Newman, JoEl Sonnier, etc.

Watch the video, you're not the only one whose legs start moving with this music

Thank you, Svallen... I ordered a CD with about 20 of Kershaw on it last week..

What is curious to me, on Amazon they have the new one of "Louisana Man" as $17 and the used as $54 or something like that!!!

Yes there are many strange things,but it depends on who the seller is.
Releases on this recordlabel usually has limited release time.Gets early out of print.
I got one with "Moon Mullican" It is now being sold for over 100 dollars used.
