No. I've met Kenny and had the great honor of him playing on stage while I have sang. That man wouldn't still be playing if he didn't love it. Or atleast like it.

I believe that's Mark O'Conner you're thinking about when it comes to the hand injury and being forced to play fiddle instead of guitar, but I'm not sure he hated the fiddle.

lesthebest123 - how can you believe that "Baker absolutely hated the fiddle" - what rubbish! Anyone who can express themselves with an instrument the way Kenny did on the fiddle could not possibly hate their instrument.

Ask any Bill Monroe Fan who their favorite Fiddle player is and they'll probably say Kenny Baker. But Kenny Baker absolutely hated the fiddle. His favorite insturment was the guitar, but due to a hand injury, he was forced to leave the guitar and play fiddle. I am not quite sure why, but I learned it from my mandolin/fiddle teacher and from many others. It's an interesting story, but he's a amazing fiddler!

I so agree with Jzavada's comments. That is exactly why I love this piece and Kenny's playing. A treasured clip.
