    Indeed. He sounds so 'in tune' and the whole thing is just so relaxed. If I dedicated the rest of my life to trying to do a performance like this, I would never get even 1% of it...

    there was a crop of really talented flatpickers from that era, my own personal fave was/is Norman Blake:

    but I'm also a big fan of Tony Rice, especially his work with JD Crowe and the New South.

    Well Norman Blake wrote a lot of the songs that are quite famous in that style like Church Street Blues etc etc so he definitely has to be on the list, personally I prefer Tony Rice though.

    I used to hang out on flatpicker hangout (I think it was called) those guys make us look like amateurs, when you can have a 15 page discussion on what pick to use, you know your in tone bore heaven.

    You just have to relax and enjoy it. Obviously he's beyond dedicated as a musician, but you're also watching culture, upbringing and genetics at work, as you are with any of the real bluegrass pickers.

    Very nice playing, but players only inspire me, they never make me want to give up!


    His moustache looks like it has slipped down!?!?
