Johnny and the Devil's Box-Fiddling and Folk Song

"Johnny and the Devil's Box" is a hoe down show down between a braggart, virtuoso fiddler and the devil himself who wants to take him down a few scales.  The virtuoso fiddling is performed by Douglas Waterbury-Tieman, accompanied on guitar by his father-in-law Dan Fox on guitar and wife Kimberly Fox adding her lovely vocals.  The fiddle that Douglas plays in various styles that mesh Blue Grass, Ole Opry and Folk Songs looks just like a violin.  A fiddle is the colloquial term for a violin.  These string instruments are virtually the same thing. The difference the style of playing.  For the high falootin classical crowd, there's bound to be some converts to a country sound.  Already, a fan of folk song & country, you're going to feel right at home.  The storytelling is loosely structured around Douglas' interspersed narrative.  But the music drives this charming musical fable filled with vigor and melodiousness.  The family that plays together - stays together.  It makes you want to assemble around the piano or grab a guitar with friends & family and have a hollering good times  Unfortunately, during this pandemic that requires social distancing, this is not feasible.  How very generous of the artists to provide free screenings for "Johnny and the Devil's Box" which may unlock the key to future live gatherings playing in harmony.
