Johnny Mooring - Fiddlin' Fun With Johnny Mooring

Johnny Mooring, was the only fiddler in the long history of the North American Fiddling Championship to win the title 3 years in a row.  1964, 1965 and 1966 saw Johnny sweep to victory over stiff competition, an achievement which will be hard to equal. Mooring learned the rudiments of playing the fiddle from his mother - and from the time he first picked up the instrument it became an extension of the man for the rest of his life. At the age of 12, Mooring started playing the fiddle for parties. He remembered his early beginnings and humble ancestry by carrying with him throughout his life the first payment he ever received... 35 cents. He became one of the most respected fiddle players in North America. No such happy ending to the story as Johnny Mooring was beaten to death by a jealous Husband on March 28, 1974 aged 47.
