I’m amazed that you can recognize it just by sound! Thanks for commenting. I hope your dad is well, he’s left a treasure trove of recordings behind for fans like me to sift through
@@RisingFawnArchives I did until about 1980. I was a good technical musician, but not good enough. Honestly, I was good enough to play back up fiddle, mandolin in many bands. But not good enough for Dad's level. I did not like being on the road, nor the amount of drugs in that environment. Dad did not drink and only smoked marijuana, but many people at the festivals used other drugs and drank heavily. I just didn't like the constant travel nor was I good enough talent.
@@leeblake3989 understandable. And kind of impressive that he didn’t drink, sounds hard to be a teetotaler in that scene. Does your dad know about all of the many obscure RUclips clips of his performances?

None better than Norman Blake!!!! Thanks for sharing this!
The guitar in the photo is a 1929 Nick Lucas Special Gibson. The guitar dad is playing in the recording is a 1934 D-18 14 fret Martin.

@@RisingFawnArchives I was there. I remember what he was playing. It is the guitar on the cover of Whiskey Before Breakfast.
@@leeblake3989 it must have been a big deal for him to play at the GAMH. Did you accompany him on tour a lot?
