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..........   

Peter (who was way disappointed by the jamus interruptus at the end of the vid)

Holy Sheet!  That's one heckuva line up!

Bill, tgo

This was a pretty good blues jam.

A great album featuring Anthony Jackson on 6 string bass, Steve Jordan and Manolo Badrena.

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.

Paul

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.

Bill, tgo

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