Norman and Nancy Blake discuss some of their beliefs about music and sing the tune "My Dear Old Southern Home." Norman also discusses their guitars as well and plays "new Money" with Nancy. Great video!

These old instruments in the hands of these masters will live on well past the days of their owners. Norman's guitar was made right around the year he was born. Live a long and prosperous live, you two. Music like this will never go away, thankfully.

@Management10Property I already owned a Santa Cruz Dreadnought which I felt was as good as any pre-war D-28, but I simply had to spend more than 3 grand on a D-18GE, just so I could try to sound like Norman on Whiskey Before Breakfast.

Who needs solid body electrics! Norman's volume and tone goes without saying, but listen to the punch from Nancy's 00-45. Vintage Martins cannot be beat, nor can old time music from this talented couple.
@thekeyofatheist10 жыл бұрын
I don't think that anyone would argue that a solid body electric would be superior to a vintage Martin for this application. That having been said, there are plenty of applications where a 00-45 or other flat top (even a great one) just isn't the right tool for the job; I wouldn't accuse Tosin Abasi of playing the "wrong" guitar any more than I'd accuse Norman Blake. People have diverse musical goals, and luckily we have access to increasingly diverse musical tools with which to pursue them.

Norman doesn't play those complicated things like Tony Rice or Sutton. He knows how to make a fairly simple melody stand out with great taste,If you watch Nancy close, she does more than just pound out the chords. She makes Norman sound better.

@ORBOD -- Dear Old Southern Home is the title, so the set was nostalgic. For me, the warmth of the old setting provided just the right touch. Ah, those nice old lamps and their incandescent glow -- they'll soon be relics like those great old guitars Norman and Nancy were playing. Buy the video, folks. It's an hour or so of great music, and it's at Amazon for around $17.00. Watching and listening to the Blakes is always a joy and is something you'll want to do often.

Ole Martins? 1929 1934. Makes no difference the year, Martins RULE IMO. The banjo player in our Bg group owns a 1968 Martin D35. The holy grail of Martins. He cant play both, the Gibson RB250 and D35 so I've played the 35 for 40+ years. I finally broke down and bought a Martin dreadnaught of my own!!! BIL bought a 1970 Gibson J45. It's a great guitar as well. Cousin owned a Martin 00018.
