Thanks for uploading this, I was there in awe. Got to meet Tony and got an autograph and had a good look at his Martin. What a great day!!!
So cool these two legends are doing a community college gig…love it
Norman's right hand looks so fluid and relaxed.
I am astounded by this! A true real gem! I cant believe the casual feeling evoked by these two Giants of acoustic guitar siting under a shade canopy and picking. It’s amazing that people walk by so casually. If they knew what was happening in that moment - Tony Fricking RICE and Norman Blake!!! I wonder if they’d have stopped. I know without a doubt, I’d be the listener in the first seat available! Thanks so much for posting this!

Guitar player/teacher here. I thinks it's because the average person has NO IDEA how incredibly hard it is to play guitar at this level -- or anywhere near it. When flatpicking, for example the speed of the notes is such that there is literally no time to think where to place your fingers and which string to play -- you have to "teach" your hands and fingers to do it sort of on their own aka "muscle memory." And THAT take hours upon countless hours of practices, listening and practice some more.
A joyous casualness between some old picking friends. We just got to stand by and watch them enjoy themselves. Thanks for putting this up.
a gem
Talent and skill under the pines!
What a treasure! Norman’s voice is so clear and true, and the picking is just beyond words. God Bless Tony.
Beautiful, nothing but pure music this one, thanks for posting

Their two instruments sound so different from one another. Both great, but very different from each other

The big reason for the different sounds are how the instruments are strung. Tony used lighter gauged strings because of his style. Tony put more flair and licks in his playing which required more string manipulation. Dad has always used heavy guage strings. His base is .060 and next a .044 making for that real heavy base sound.
