Very nice guy. I worked at a coffeehouse when I was in college and a couple of years in a row we brought Norman and Nancy in. Great musicians and great people to spend time with.
The last time I saw him was a few years ago and I called out a request for Sweet Heaven. He didn't play it, but he did make a genial comment about how old that one was.

When it comes to folk music...and his folk-grass style of flatpicking....I don't think there's anyone out there that comes close to this guy. He's just the real deal. It's amazing what he can do with relatively basic chords and first position playing. Sounds SO big and full:) IMHO

That was to fit in with the theme of the song. Black Diamond used to be sold at every Western Auto, local general store, and even some grocery stores. In other words "cheap strings." He definitely plays GHS boomers. I'm good friends with a guy who is friends with Norman (he just lives a half-hour from me) and he told me what Norman uses.
