There is an album cut out in the ether of Roy Rogers and Buffalo playing Mercury blues in a club somewhere. It is one of the finest pieces of music I have ever heard.
Gee, this is Great!! Refreshing to see someone who's not afraid to play with somebody like "The Mighty Roy Rogers". Really good interplay, fits together like a jigsaw puzzle. Time to hit the "Favorite" button!
Let Norton play what he likes, as for me the honkenest harmonica on the planet is the Hohner Special 20 and next in line is the Lee Oskar harp and an old friend swears by the Hohner Golden Melody!!!
forget the why's and the wherefore's of harmonica quality and just listen to the music !!!!! 'cos these guys are simply great players with a wonderful feel to what they're doing.
STOCK ,out of the box, Huang Star Performers, MOTHER FUCKERS!!!!One of the cheapest harmonicas ever made. Norton wont even let a custom harp touch his lips!!("You gap the reeds, it's cheatin")Thats the sound of a $15 never even played non- custom harp.

If you made me choose between Norton and Charlie Musselwhite, I'd have to jump off a cliff. RIP Norton, you were insanely good. Blues and tears...

Not only was Norton a sweet guy and an amazing harp player, but he did a stone-killing Walter Brennan impression.

aebersold says "you should play the best instrument you can afford". Why is it cheating to play a better instrument?
