Guitarist, (really, multi-instrumentalist) Bob Minner was the presenter inducting Norman Blake into the IBMA Hall of Fame last week in Raleigh. Bluegrass Today plugged his project, celebrating the Flatpicking Giant.

Here's a couple selections from his project-

I think you err calling Mr. Blake a "Flatpicking Giant", Greg.  There are few who can fingerpick at his level, either.........

That's absolutely a true statement Coz. Pretty fair slide player too, but the larger appeal to the bluegrass crowd has probably been the flatpickin' stuff. For me, it was Blake & Rice Vol. 1. I knew who Tony was, but I was fascinated by this Norman cat. I had to hear more. Changed the course of my guitar-playing life. Even my tastes in the guitars I liked changed.


Bob really nailed his sound on Fiddlers>Whiskey there.

"Limehouse Blues", done by a few guys who seem to be getting the hang of their instruments..........

This was a pretty good blues jam.

The spectacular Ms. Esparanza Splading is 38 today (as he just gets it in under the wire for "today" in his time zone....):

She really is.

   I am currently in collaboration on a songwriting project with the Irish singer, songwriter, and pianist Lisa Cuthbert.
Here she is with one of her original compositions. Our collaboration will be featured on the fifth album of a band from Sweden, which she is also in collaboration with as a vocalist. She will be using my lyrics in this project. I will disclose more per public announcement upon the final mix and my BMI agreement registration.

Not sure how they work but the algorithms in YouTube brought me Liquid:

A pleasant surprise.  Groovy group.

Cuthbert’s Storm Coming On is a beautiful composition.  Looking forward to hearing more about your collaboration with her when it is released.

With Halloween fast approaching, I thought of this one today.

I'm still following the Dan Tyminski Band religiously on YouTube... man, that band is on fire.
