"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too. And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you. Now you play pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the Devil his due: I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you." - Devil Went Down to Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band.

The Fiddler Went Down to Faerûn

Chapter 1: Johnny's Arrival

Chapter Text

"Four, three, two, one—" Johnny opened his eyes, expecting to see the near-empty side parking lot of the local grocery mart, but instead of cracked tarmac and gravel, his boots tapped on cobbled stones as he took a shocked few steps back.

"Ma'am?" He called out, searching around himself. Behind, he saw a gruff-looking man, who quickly averted his eyes and continued on his way down a separate, cobbled path. The 'voodoo' woman was nowhere to be seen.

Johnny figured it was early morning or late afternoon, telling by the angle of the sun. He readjusted his instrument case on his shoulder and started toward the sound of a crowd.

Tall grass blocked his view for a good hundred yards before Johnny stepped out of the brush and could look down on a bustling little town. He gave a low whistle. That lady hadn't been lying. He'd been sure she was taking him for a ride, but whatever she'd done had worked. He just hoped it was worth the money he'd given her for her 'spell'.

Johnny continued down the cobble path. He'd seen paths like that in movies, like them old French ones his Nana liked. Looking at the buildings as he drew near, he supposed it was possible he was somewhere in Europe. He'd never been outside of the States before, not even to Mexico. Really, other than a short trip a little ways into Florida, he'd never left Georgia. Never'd needed to.

Europe was nice -- if a little smelly. Johnny wrinkled his nose. He'd mucked out plenty 'a barns, but something about the smell struck him as a little more 'outhousey' than 'barny'. It wasn't unbearable, though he worried for a moment as to whether Europe had flushing toilets. It was nearly the 80's, so he figured they'd have to by now. And it wasn’t that he had a problem using an outhouse – his Nana and Papa had one out at their cabin. He’d also been out camping and fishing enough times to be familiar with doing his business as God intended out in nature – but in a city he didn’t figure that was a good idea.

As he walked, now in the midst of the odd little houses and stacked buildings, people were looking at him quite odd. He waved at a few, but they rarely returned the gesture, instead looking almost offended.

Johnny pulled his ballcap down tighter and lowered his eyes. Europeans were a bit different. Not only their behavior, but he could hear a whole slew of conversations happening around him and hardly understood a word of any of it. They also looked odd, which he really hadn’t expected. He just figured they’d look more or less like Americans.

Most were pretty regular, other than their clothes that made them look like they’d stepped right out the pages of a Charles Dickens’ story, but some were tall with pointed ears, and others were half the size of a normal person despite their otherwise looking and sounding like adults.

Maybe the Hapsburgs weren’t as unique a case as he’d been led to believe—

His mother’d taught him that if it weren’t something that could be fixed in fifteen minutes, and wasn’t hurtin’ nobody nohow, to keep his trap shut, and so that’s what Johnny did. He continued to offer kind smiles if anyone met his gaze but didn’t go out of his way especially to engage with anyone.

The weather was nice. Warm, but not too hot, and the air was drier than he was used to. Even as he stepped out onto a boardwalk, lined on either side with buildings despite being suspended over some body of water, it wasn’t too humid.

He figured he must be in England. He’d seen an old illustration of London Bridge in school. It, too, had homes and shops spanning it on either side. And, the accents were right, as far as his unaccustomed ears could tell. That would also explain the few people he’d seen dressed up like hulking lizards – this must have been some kind of cultural festival, like a ‘Ren Faire’

That would be exciting. Though he was on a bit of a mission, it was self-imposed, so he could take the time to catch a jousting tournament if he could or see some soldiers in a reenactment. He’d seen a few Civil War reenactments – but knights were definitely cooler.

Johnny sauntered up to a friendly-looking man that had been trying to sell fresh produce, it seemed, to passers-by, speaking English. “Howdy – erm – mate,” he tipped the bill of his hat some. He’d never ‘a thought of a man as ‘beautiful’ before, but there wasn’t much different a way to describe him – other than his Hapsburg ears, which Johnny did his best not to stare at.

“Hello, my fine—” the beautiful man turned his attention to Johnny, and his friendly smile became a slight frown. “—ly dressed fellow.” He reached out with a hand and gingerly pinched a wrinkle in Johnny’s t-shirt, his too-wide eyes even wider now with surprise.

Johnny took a step back, laughing politely to try and mask his discomfort at the stranger’s grabbing and clear sarcasm at his appearance. “Yea, sorry about that. I was just buckin’ some bales before I ran into town, and my truck’s still a bit dusty from – well – I haven’t had a chance to wash up yet.

“I didn’t know this’d be a whole thing.” He looked around at the other people bustling about the narrow street.

“You are – an interesting character,” the Englishman said. “I’m sure I haven’t seen you before?”

“No, sir,” Johnny took the man’s still somewhat extended hand and gave him a firm shake. “M’name’s Johnny. I’m from Georgia, USA.

“I was actually hopin’ you’d know of somewhere I could grab a bite? Maybe a Coke?”

The Englishman said nothing and maybe even looked a little offended.

Johnny chuckled again to try and keep the mood light. “Sorry, I don’t know the local ‘lingo’. Is there somewhere I can buy some dinner? It’s gettin’ kinda late, so maybe a hotel?”

“Food and drink?” He pointed over Johnny’s shoulder. “There, and a bed, too – if that’s what you were asking.”

“Thank you kindly, sir.” Johnny tapped his fingers to the bill of his hat again and turned, crossing the narrow street. A wooden sign hung out front of the wooden, shiplap building, but he couldn’t read the squiggly text. He was pretty sure that American English and – well – English English used the same alphabet – but maybe not.

The interior was quite dark and it took a moment for Johnny’s eyes to adjust. There were a few people around, sitting at tables or standing near one another in quiet conversation. A woman stood nearby behind a counter with hair that could have made even Dolly jealous.

“I’m guessin’ this here’s a ‘pub’?” Johnny put an arm on the counter and gave the woman a polite smile.

“A weary traveler, busted and bruised. You come for sustenance. No – decadence.”

“I don’t know much about decadence, ma’am. I was just hopin’ for a Coke – Pepsi’d be alright. An’ I’m not sure what folks here tend to eat, but a sandwich’d be good, if you’ve got one.”

Her eyes filled with the same sort of confusion as the beautiful man’s had, and Johnny was at a loss.

Round 1 Side B

The Devil Went Down To Georgia: It's about a boy getting into a fiddle-playing contest with the devil, and winning

Flat Earth: It's about how the Earth is Flat, and it's super catchy which I hate because I can't sing a song about the earth being flat without people thinking I'm a flat earther lmao. Honestly just like, listen to the Network. They're a joke band that like everybody knows are just the members of the band Green Day wearing masks and dumb outfits, but the songs are actually good. Like as dumb as some of their songs are I still sing along to them.

Simple Man ~ Charlie Daniels Band

~ ♫♪♫ ~

I ain't nothin' but a simple man They call me a redneck I reckon that I am But there's things going on That make me mad down to the core

I have to work like a dog to make ends meet There's crooked politicians and crime in the street And I'm madder'n hell and I ain't gonna take it no more

We tell our kids to just say no Then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town

Now if I had my way with people sellin' dope I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope I'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes down

Well, you know what's wrong with the world today People done gone and put their Bible's away They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land The good book says it so I know it's the truth An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth You better watch where you go and remember where you been That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man

Now I'm the kinda’ man that'd not harm a mouse But if I catch somebody breakin’ in my house I've got twelve guage shotgun waiting on the other side

So don't go pushing me against my will I don't want to have to fight you but I dern sure will So if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by

As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse For the raping and the killing and the child abuse And I've got a way to put an end to all that mess

Just take them rascals out in the swamp Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest

Well You know what's wrong with the world today People done gone and put their Bible's away They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land Well the Good Book says it so I know it's the truth An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth You better watch where you go and remember where you been That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man

You better watch where you go and remember where you been That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man

Brett Eldredge - Songs About You

So today on MSR (Midnight Star Review), I will be talking about the latest album from Country Music Singer Brett Eldredge. His new album is titled "Songs about you" and was released on June 17th, 2022. But before we dive into the new project, let's talk a little bit about Brett's Career so far.

Brett Eldredge has had some success on my charts with songs like "Wanna be that song", Love somebody", (Which he has a version dedicated to his dog Edgar, & "The long way". Brett has scored 3 number ones on my weekly list MSR (Midnight Star Report) which combines now the Billboard Country Music Airplay Chart, CMT (Country Music Television), & even myself. But let's get back to this new Cd which has 12 tracks on it.

On this project, there a lot of stand out songs. And when I was writing this up, I was listening to the CD. But songs I think you should check out are "Can't keep up" which mentions "The Devil went down to Georgia" (Charlie Daniels band reference), "Songs about you" is a very good choice for the title track, & "I feel fine" is a really good track that probably won't get airplay. But there are stand out tracks on this CD and it is very tough to pick one for the track of the album. The stand out tracks are "Hideaway", "Home sweet love", & "Want that back". CMT has previewed a few songs from the CD including "Holy water". Let's see the rest of the track list up next.

Track list.

Can't keep up.

Songs about you.

I feel fine.

What else ya got.

Hideaway.

Get out of my house.

Home sweet love.

Want that back.

Wait up for me.

Where do I sign.

Holy water.

Where the light meets the sea.

And that's a wrap for the track list. Brett is very underrated Country Music Artist, and I still believe that. He deserves more credit for what he does for Country Music. And on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), I would give this new album a 5 out of 5 stars. There are a lot of stand out tracks which isn't a bad thing. Brett had a hand in co-writing all 12 tracks. Thanks for taking time to read this review. See ya all next time.

Today in Fandom History: July 6

Fandom: Music

July 6th, 2020, country singer Charlie Daniels passed away at 83. Fun fact, the first country song I actually enjoyed was “Devil Went Down to Georgia” when it played while my parents were watching an ‘evolution of country music’ documentary. Also, I was seven or eight years old, and I became obsessed with a song about the devil. That’s all you have to know about me really. Leading member of The Charlie Daniels Band, some of Daniels’ best songs besides Devil Went Down to Georgia include Simple Man (LOVE this song), Long Haired Country Boy (a classic), Drinking My Baby Goodbye, The Legend of Wooley Swamp, and Texas. He’s appeared in the films Urban Cowboy, Heartworn Highway, the television show Murder She Wrote, and numerous televised events including Austin City Limits. He’s been awarded a GMA Dove, a Pioneer award, and has both a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame and a star on the Music Walk of Fame. Charlie Daniels is an ICONIC country musician who has fully cemented himself as a part of music history. May he rest in peace.

If you are interested in familiarizing yourself with classic country songs/stars, Charlie Daniels is definitely one you should hit. I’d start with Conway Twitty or Willie Nelson, the individual artists, and then work yourself up to full bands like the Charlie Daniels band. That or work yourself into the genre by listening to musicians who mix country with genres you already like. For example, rock lovers could start the transition with the Eagles, a band that phenomenally mixes the two.
