A true Charlie Daniel's classic that crossed a lot of music lines. I've done this song a couple of times - and taken a lot of liberties with it - just grabbing the battling fiddles part. The first time was an insane battle between a pair of flutes - yeah, flutes. I reworked it into a pair of pianos locked into a battle to the death - or maybe worse than death.
