What a way to start the day. So true. Such sweet, authentic music. As others hav noted, Norman is a national teasure. And so is Nancy, James, and others who have helped to keep alive the beautiful home-made music of the Southern Appalachians, indeed the whole country, but especially. In 1982 I recorded a 40-minute set Norman and Nancy and James did at Winfield; where I first heard the now-classic "Southern Railroad Blues", "Billy Gray", and "Ginseng Sullivan". I wore that tape out and built a sauna in the country while listening to it. Tears later got to meet Norman briefly at a concert they did in Weston, Mo., saying to him how much I liked his music, in an intermission when I caught his ear. He looked at me and my friend Rick Jones and said "Why, thank ya, boys!"

In the universe where subtle pitch is a window to the soul. - It's kind of like asking in which universe are all these old fogeys fashion models? Probably nowhere, but they are still revered by those who understand them. - Not every one aspires to compete in the precision of 12 tone equally-tempered music. That's a wonderful style, but it can also be a straight jacket.

Norman Blake is a national treasure. Beautiful music. Historical. Relates the zeitgeist of days gone by. REAL, genuine, visceral roots music. Music spawned from Life, not from corporate, formulaic, empty, profit driven nonsense.

I was 20 and in the military, stationed near Denver, CO. I walked into the first real music store I'd ever been in. A Norman Blake record was playing over the sound system. I just stood stock still for several cuts. I'd never heard anything like it before. I got a couple of his records and played them till they were nearly worn out. Not much later, I bought a real good Gibson J-50 and some Ramblin' Jack Elliot records. I proceeded to learn to pick like these guys. I think it took me years to get 1/100th as good, but I was listening to as much of that type of music as I could find. That store was my hang out when off base, learning about all sorts of artists, musicians, and various instruments. I have to admit, I blame it all on Norman and Nancy Blake. I related this story to them the one and only time I ever saw them live in a small town in WA state. Norman just grinned and said he was sorry for contributing to the ruination of my life. I almost cried, but I laughed and said there were a million other ways for me to have done that. Boy, Howdy, ain't that the honest truth ! Yeah, old timers like all these folks are real treasures and they have given so much to all of us, in so many glorious ways, they can never know. I now live my senior years in my home state of Montana and play a bit of mandolin as well. Most recently I have been listening to the Blake's version of the Old Hollow Poplar.

Just found this site...but I'll get to work on it. Problem is, being mostly instrumental, there's precious little to go on. Only one I caught on first listen--the tune playing at about 21:45 is an old Carter Family tune, (That Aggravating Beauty) LULA WALLS. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS--it's great to get Norman and Nancy in such an informal setting. And he doesn't play a lot of dobro...so it's a real treat. Many thanks.
