@flatopguy norman blake isnt known for his vocals. he is a great songwriter of our time, one of the best. jazz and bluegrass are two very different streams of music, both can be awesome depending on your mood.. no one likes a know it all so relax
@BluegrassBlues flat-picker...I think so...he has a cool record out called "Radio" where he alternates between weird-ass country folk and cowboy spoken word. Dad also wrote...Precious Memories for Norman too...on the ...I can't remember the name of Norman's cover record at the moment...
@RhinoRyan91 wow - D-18 really gets around, huh? I too have heard this song my whole life...can sing it a capella in the shower...dad plays it ALL the time.
a lesson on this one would be so awesome!

Nice one, Norm. Love the fact that he's using a Gibson for a song about a Martin. Sounds amazing as usual.

Good song. Monumental musician---he is a true national treasure.
But it just seems so wrong to hear this tune played on a Gibson, don't you think? : )
