iirc, norman blake wrote church street blues and its on the same page as tony's. frankly, i like tony's interpretation a lot better. his right hand amazes me and his execution of hammer-ons and pull-offs is virtually flawless.

bob, correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't mark o'connor win both the flat picking guitar AND the fiddle championships the same year? at age 13 i think. unheard of. i have the vinyl lp of him winning the flat-picking championship and he brought the house down. as a lad he had a very unorthodox way of holding the fiddle. while seated, he pulled it into his stomach then leaned over it. awkward looking but he certainly could make it talk.
