I had the good fortune of seeing Norman and Nancy at Dade County High School in Trenton, GA. This was one of the best days of my life. I got my picture taken with Norman. Man, what a great day that was. His mother taught my dad in school. Proud to say I am from Rising Fawn.
The Blake's are getting up there in age from when I saw them once in late '70s. They are just such mellow folks, sort of like a fine, delicious old wine. I hope they can play on for many, many more years. They are a national treasure.
I had the honor of pickin' and hanging out with James several years ago in a woodshed environment . I played and sang Greycoat Soldier which Norman does an amazing job on. I felt inadequate, and stated that Norman probably wouldn't like it. James said Norman would be well pleased with my version. That made me feel very good. These people are pure country class.
Bs"d Thank you so much for the best lullaby. Sweetest sounds I can recall. O' course I won't worry over it too much; just go to sleep feeling really fine.

I saw Norman and Nancy play at a local small town Minnesota bar back in 1978 or 79 ... there abouts. It was wonderful!

"We don't want any of our professionalism and slickness of performance to overwhelm."
Norman is such a gracious host. When they say key of G he says it's the only key lol.
the MASTER
Excellent vibrato on the dobro.
This is beautiful - thank you. What is the name of the first tune , the one on the dobro in A minor please ?
Stick to the flat top, Norman. I didn't recognise Nancy.
