Happy Birthday, Norman Blake! Another legendary trip around the sun for a man whose guitar picking skills are faster than our internet speeds and smoother than Granny’s homemade gravy. From those golden rhythms in "Church Street Blues" to iconic strums alongside Johnny Cash, your fingerprints on bluegrass music can be heard loud and proud from Tennessee hillsides to worldwide playlists.You defined an era of artistry that has fans tapping feet harder with each passing year—proving once again that good musicians never age; they just keep their strings tuned better. Here’s hoping this birthday hits all the right notes!
