Roy Rogers & Norton Buffalo - Ain't no Bread in the Breadbox

[brilleglas100]

Realy enjoy ritme, great for me self an with others together...move on.

[Bluescanuck]

Pure musical magic, that's what these two great Bluesmen always delivered. So glad & privileged that I got to see them "Live" several times. Truly sad though that I'll never get to see them on stage anymore. Sure miss Norton. Thankfully we have videos and recordings of this fabulous collaboration. For that reason I thank you for posting this.

[rsdasrick]

Norton ,my friend, you aew truly missed, Thank you for sharing so much of yourself &your talent with the rest of mankind,sometimes if I stop n listen I ccan hear your harmonious melodies carried from heaven to earth on the winds, God bless your sweet souj!

[fixemup]

Norton was an original and remaining member in the Steve Miller Band, played his own stuff and paired with Roy; quite a legend.

[dakarlion1]

I love this video! Great song too!

[BobTheSubgenius]

Not only that....but the best hats in the business.

[joroline64]

I cant help but think that if he could have walked the earth concurrent with Woody Guthrie, we would all be in a different, much better place.

[shitbagsmith]

Two greats who play off each other and are confident enough to weave their raw feelings into this song for the very success of it. This music sort of reaches out and grabs you and pulls at your soul. They seemed to play for old times, maybe for the long road home.

[MrJojogun]

If this isn't a little slice of heaven... then what is?

[CARDObluesharp]

R. I. P.

[Parleblues]

The very best at what he did, hope ya looking down Norton!

[Stenghel1]

[helmsbarn]

most tambourine players could be replaced with a chimpanzee..it seems that we all know that,but nobody will say it aloud..Maraccas too..

[Jenisonc]

@helmsbarn Hahaha Obviously you have never tired to keep complex rhythm with a tambourine.

[phildirt3]

[SeatleSue]

RIP.

Thank you so much for your music.

A life of giving is a life well lived. May you stroll the fields of happiness and swim in rivers of joy.

[blackstonesinger]

Norton, you will be sorely missed. I know you're up in heaven right now, jammin with the greats of music and playing that harmonica like theres no tomorrow. God bless you Norton Buffalo.

[joeymyopic]

[thompsonlake]

And the nicest guy!

Miss you....

[mojorayjones]

Brother, you were so kind and considerate to my friends, the Turks, who came to see you often at the Freight and Salvage in their wheel chairs. You always had something to laugh about. I hope you're still laughing. You are the greatest!

[musoid]

RIP Norton, a wonderful harp player and fixture in the bay area music scene. Well done sir.

[samswank]

Norton was a sweet cat and a shit-hot harp player. He also did the best Walter Brennan impression of anyone I've known.

[resoblues]

How sad.  God Bless. Peace and love to his family.

[The14weed]

God Rest ye BLUESY SOUL NORTON...

[BradleyWagner]

[Tones4me1]

I love that his music completely captured my attention. He made me want to slow down, sit on the porch and listen to the music while at the same time jump up and dance my ass off! I miss him already. Peace to his family and friends.

[Bufalocarlos]

Good bye Mr Buffalo.....RIP....we`ll miss you...And thanks for your music.

[owenseightball]

[Legginbass]

Another fine light has burned out...

A GREAT american musician.

[haumana33]

Norton is no longer in pain. R.I.P.  He's missed.

and a really really nice human!

[Katfeaver]

Amazing Video, Amazing Man. May the rays of the healing light shine around him.

[haumana33]

Norton, you're the best. Our thoughts are with you.

[mpo1107]

Great song Norton & Roy,

I'm sending you my love, prayers and healing light.

[wootzer42]

For those of you that don't know, Norton has retired and is very, very ill. What a sweet and gentle soul this man has.

[Bm52]

Truely a song for Today!!!-

[remkloveye]

Great music and harmonica solo!

[dandamagetoo]

I was already a fan when I got to meet Mr Buffalo. I was doing some work on Steve Millers Steinburger and Norton was in the band. they both treated me like new gold. Fun show to boot.

[RankAndFileGuy]

Damn this is too good!!!!!!!!! You cannot love Roy Rogers on his little wooden stick.

[RankAndFileGuy]

I mean you cannot not love him on his wodden stick! :P

[rnbateman]

If you were better noyna9, you would have made a video!

[noyna9]

All of the top harmonica boys have their own unique sounds and the whole lot thrown at us all makes for a very colourful and entertaining life for us listeners.And apart from that bullshit I,m probably better than all of them but thats only my opinion.

[NearlyNormalSteve]

Saw these two at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma last Saturday. ther were amazingly good. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

[valleysally]

ya know, he might not be "hollywood" or slick Nashville looking, but ya gotta give him this .....the man has STYLE......

[fistfulofrain]

Back in '98, all my Norton Buffalo was lost in a basement flood at my old home. This amazing video is the reason that I'm heading out 1st thing tomorrow and picking up any and all of the Norton Buffalo I can find. I used to love him and now this video makes me realize I still do!

[proud2beawildcat211]

i would have to say john popper is the best harp player in the world

[mrjimspeaks]

hah

[Zoogyltd]

your opinion, of course. i gues you know literlly every harp player out there to make such a statement. how many harp players have you ever listened to to make your judgement call. Who you think is "the best harp player" is relative to YOUR universe. Again, it's your opinion and i'll fight to the death your right to say what you feel. peace bro

[Zoogyltd]

I find solace & comfort in music. The lyrics contained in this song are reflective of the mood of the times. This song can actually make me feel better if I sometimes feel a little low. Music has 'that kind of ability' and is universal in it's capacity to lift spirits. I believe songs like this are 'contempory spirituals'. Of course, this is just my humble opinion.

L.Terry

[sourpinkie]

i agree with that completely. spirituals are unlike any other type of music

[hagmartha]

I agree Zoogyltd, this song is very reflective of the current times. I've been a Norton Buffalo fan for years and my brother gave me the album (R&B - very punny) this came from for Christmas sometime in the 90s. I love how Rogers and Buffalo's voices blend. Both great musicians too. Too bad they haven't released more albums.

[kotashan]

Yep, Norton is the Best! Plus, I love his voice! So unique!

[CoronadoNavy]

hey ya'll .. check out jimmy buffett's son of a son of a sailor

[SlowwHand]

You're an idiot.

[tabooeoo]

Please make a video on the song

DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS.

on a taxie ride """"""

[tabooeoo]

This is one of the worlds greatest songs.

I just wish moore people have heard it.

Got the cassett 15 years a go.

Cheak out the asian girl band CSJH

[thompsonlake]

in every respect?

LOL.....

name one?

[andydunnigan]

Wow how good is Norton!

He is the BEST harp player to ever walk the planet....

The bluegoose guy needs to get out more and just listen to Taylor Hicks.....(american idol)

sameness?????

WTF?

He knows nothing (gooseface that is)

youtube "Montana roadrage" and this is how I feel about bluegoose mother f....comment.

[mottag8830]

BEST harp player in the world? seems like a bit of a stretch. He is a very well rounded player but there are players better then him in every aspect

[thevintagecloth]

i agree with you thompsonlake....

norton is the best i have ever heard..although i guess we "need to get out more"

and in the harp world he is the man

[thompsonlake]

"get out a little more"!

Bluegoose...stick the harp up your fucking ass...!

What a stupid comment.

Whitebread....????

NOBODY plays more styles than Norton!

NOBODY

The greatest harp solo ever ..do you know what it is?

Saw this is some harp publication.....

still guessing?

Runaway by Bonnie Raitt...guess who played harp.....

[shaynedge]

wtf!!!

sorry if u guys love this and each to there own but his voice / the lyrics did nothing for me

i liked the harmonica solo stuff

but everything else.......

[thornesain]

That's my Brother - the guy with the overheated old car!

[bemental]

Norton is on par with John Mayall as one of the best! Love it.

[kityklaws]

If I watch this 5000 times I will never get enough. Please post more video's. Loving in the Valley of the Moon is forever the best and there is no better than Norton Buffalo.

[valleysally]

couldn't agree more, Loving in the Valley of the Moon....killer album....Norton also knows hgow to pick the best musicians !!gotta love that voice ! no other like it anywhere...

[thompsonlake]

In the now out of print "Jazz Harp Book"

Oak publications the two harp players that

they start to talk about are Stevie Wonder ..and Norton Buffalo.

Truly the most well rounded harp player in the history of the instrument!

[bluegoose555]

in reply to thompsonlake..I have the aforementioned book circa 1980..N. Buffalo's name is very briefly mentioned (once) in a book of 125 pages filled with musical transcriptions. I bought and enoyed his album Loving in the valley of the moon" back around then.This is the first I've heard of him since,"sameness" comes to mind " the most well rounded...player in history etc"? I do like the guys stuff (whitebread can be edifying too) but really now, maybe you need to get out a little more?

[panheaddan1]

Blue eyed soul! oh yea , makes my belly groan ,feeling those hunger pangs, somebody make me a samwich please

[DanTheManDavis]

True Americana ! I don't know about the best duo ever. That's up to the ear of the listener. But thanks for the post. I play harp too. And really enjoyed this one. Thanks again !

[zeph1955]

Haven't heard Norton in too long. He used to play at a little club up in Missoula when I lived there many years ago. Glad this came up on the random scroll else I likely wouldn't have found it. 2 treasures in our midst! Thanks!

[itsjeanagain2]

Just found this.  I love it.

[jleoblues]

Two incredibly talented players Norton is a harp master and Roy Rogers is redefined slide guitar

[resoblues]

Can someone tell me why this video wasn't up for a Grammy of some kind???? These guys could smoke any Nashville pretty boy act out there. God forbid they're real and not lip syncing to some silly CMC production to sell to the masses. Great stuff...

[moseymama]

I agree with you. The people in the music industry are not going for talent.They are going for who looks good enough on a cover to sell. These tow re fantastic.

[Ishmael932]

Roy used to play my high school dances in the late 60's/early 70's with his first band, 4 Way Stop at Benicia High School. One of Vallejo's favorite sons & the finest slide guitarist ever. I saw his 40th birthday gig with the Delta Rhythm Kings at Slims in S.F. many years ago.

[hankshreve]

these guys have to be the best harmonica/guitar duo ever!!

[JimR56]

Wow, that's a treasure! Where did you find that? I'm hoping to someday see a video of Norton's band The Stampede from Austin City Limits in 1979.

[Recoaro]

tnkiu, i found it in EMULE, it's the only one of i have

[jaimpo]

AMEN on that ACL show from 1979...Only saw it as it aired & still remember it. Wish it were available!

[ptuna520]

He has a video clip on Sierra Sound Stage, and a whole bunch of slide and his albums at his web site Roy Rogers :"The Slide Zone" ("I love hime too")
