Absolutely. Play however you like. Norman was the master of touch and tone. He didn’t need to play fancy stuff to sound good, although he certainly could.
Wondeful to see hear what Norman’s mind is creating in his older age, this is a unique and meaningful folk song and the Spanish scale he is playing is beautiful. It’s very catchy just like all his songs. ginseng Sullivan, Randall Collins, and now Francisco Madero. A great songwriter and storyteller.
just WOW! what a Gem this man still is and always be! it's an honor to still get to hear him sing and play! thank you sincerely for sharing this video!
Wow! When I think of my favorite flatpickers, the most influential, for sure it is Norman, Tony, Doc, and Dan. Norman IS a national treasure for sure!!
Great stylist in many musical idioms. A man that if you heard him play you knew him forever. Played for art not fame. A tree limb that bends only so far never straying from his roots. Just listen to him play & you will wonder where you have been. A gentleman.
Norman always seemed to garner less recognition than many of his peers. That has not stifled his skill or talent. He must know that the world appreciates his artistry. One hopes that people being drawn into bluegrass by phenomenal talents like Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle will have their curiosity about music lead them here. They will fall in love with Normans catalog. Thanks for posting!
I'm 70 years old.Loved you music since I was 19.Pick on forever Norman!
Norman saved me from burning my guitar. He said that if you couldn't play fast to not worry about it. Play however you like. Thanks Norman.

Excellent!
Still got it! His voice isn't quite as strong as yesteryear, but neither is mine! Kudos, Norman!
He's just traded one kind of voice quality for another.
Beautiful.
Obviously, an influence on Townes Van Zants ,Pancho and Lefty !
Wonderful to see and hear!
Thanks for sharing this. Norman Blake always delivers!
Blake is a very fine performer. I hope he recovers and feels well again.

Pure Magic!
Great Mexican tones are played by Norman on that wonderful Martin.
What kind of Martin is the first one he plays
The Mexican song on ?
Beuitiful
This is amazing. I find nothing diminished in either his singing or his playing, and oh boy, that guitar.
WOW
By golly.
Gently warns his hosts that he can no longer sing or play.
Proceeds to sing and play like…well, like Norman Blake.
