Oh hell yeah, rowdy - it is a thing of beauty for sure. I just noticed that he has a higher "lift" than Doc, which cheered me up no end!! I'm glad you didn't bite my head off - it's was just a so-so players observation of techniques and styles. I'd never have the gall to slag off someone with this much "cred" - unlike some others here

THIS IS NOT a bitch or a put down - but I was watching Doc Watson (here, with Chet) and I can't help but notice how little movement Doc has in his left hand, compared to Normans. Effortless, smooth, almost unnoticed, whereas Norman has a "busy" left hand. Now, I do too, so it makes me feel I am still in with a chance!! I was trying to "smooth" the left out, a la Doc and it was a cow of a thing! Now I feel better!

I love Norman's left hand. It's what I would describe as "loose". His fingers seem to fly effortlessly over the frets. A very light touch!

Norman and Nancy used to live at Rising Fawn Georgia. Where are they living now?

They're still in Rising Fawn last I heard and that was from Norman last time I saw him play live in October 2007 as he made mention of the short drive back to Rising Fawn.

Actually, James Bryan's daughter, Rachael, is married to an excellent fiddler named Matt Combs. I think it's safe to say that between the two of them that they can play as many fiddle tunes as just about anyone maybe with the exception of Fletcher Bright.

I found a video entitled "Red Wine." Maybe that's the one you were talking about. If so, it really didn't help your case as the overall performance in that video was no better than I'd see in a local bluegrass jam band. If you like listening to him, more power to you.
