can you just imagine all the music banked in Mr Blake’s head? I’m talking from little ditties , old tunes , fiddle tunes , to his original songs ( instrumentals and w/ lyrics).
Recorded by Norman and Slim on From the Fields of Alabama. Norman recommended Slim as a repair guy on liner notes. I took my '68 D-35S to him for new bone nut and saddle, new frets. Great work. Album is also great, with photos of instruments played on it--mostly duets.
Since no one has identified the guitarist, I reckon I will. That there is Bob Chuckrow. I believe he does live in St. Elmo, an historic neighborhood of Chattanooga, TN. He also is certainly is slim, but I have never heard him called St. Elmo Slim, though it is a good name for him and maybe he is, I guess.
Good to see that Mr. Blake is still playing on stage. I had lost track of him -- until I googles him on CZcams -- but I have all of his early albums. He is probably my biggest inspiration to learn to "fiddle tune" pick on my flat-top guitar. He is the best flat-picker to learn from.
" He is probably my biggest inspiration to learn to "fiddle tune" pick on my flat-top guitar. He is the best flat-picker to learn from." I totally agree! He has been my "teacher" from afar for many years.
Oui. Nous en avons perdu tellement de bons récemment. Norman, qui a 82 ans maintenant, ne joue plus rarement de nos jours. C'était un réel plaisir de voir et d'enregistrer cela.

Dad said 40 years ago he estimated that he, Nancy and James Bryan could play 24 hours a day for a week and never repeat the same song.

Nice old Lyon & Healy 2-point mandolin Norman. Sounds great in your hands.
If I could play mandolin like that just once, I would call my musical career accomplished.

David Murrell ...and all his tunes are always great!
