Why does it seem that southerners have so much musical talent? Not only is Norman's lead work awesome, his backup just electrifies the stage. By this I certainly don't mean to take anything away from the talent exhibited by James Bryan and Nancy Blake!

Wow!!! Norman really killed the breaks on this. Incredible how he gets around those chords on lead especially coming off the D. Nobody else plays those runs. I find his style to be more organic than most flatpickers. It seems more guys are playing the Tony Rice licks and such. Love Norman.

Maybe just me, but I under stood him to say Bryan, not Brown. Maybe because I'm from Alabama, where we don't have accents.

This almost makes me cry. Living near Chattanooga all my life, this music is almost like the air I breathe, never done any better than by these three.

I still remember a great line of Norman's from that performance ..... sounds humble and non judgmental until you think twice. Norman deadpanned to the audience and said, "We like ta think that we play country music .... and we like ta think that a whole lot of other people don't." It brought on a good chuckle. BTW, it also sounds like he's introducing James Brown to the audience at the end of this video. LOL!

Thats the place! We did 2 shows there with them: 1st was an evening show, & 2nd was a Sunday afternoon, a day after a hurricane hit & it was a tough commute for those who wisht to attend. That 1st (evening) show I referred-to was a profound experience; stunningly beautiful. They were nice folks too. When Norman, with his Georgia drawl, introduced me to James Bryan, I thought he said 'James Brown" & Norman would say "Yep, he's the hardest workin' man in show business." I think I MC'ed that show.

If you are referring to the concert at "Elmwood Community Church" in the Hartford area, I was one of the people there in the mid 80s, and they truly were an amazing group at that time. Thank you for putting on that series! I have fond memories of wearing out this "Full Moon On The Farm - Rising Fawn Ensemble" album. Beyond great pickin'! Yeserie!

This trio is as good an ensemble as I have ever heard; we used to book them up here in Hartford, CT right about the time when this vid was probably filmed... say 1985 plus or minus a year. James Bryan is my favorite fiddler... bar none. Nancy and Norman were just beyond perfect as usual. I have never heard a better trio, regardless of style.... beautiful-est music. Thank you for this post.
