Norm Hamlet came to a a couple of our little Honkytonk style beer joints here in Charlotte Fri and Sat nights.

I went to see him last night, as I had my nights mixed up about Fri, so I missed that. He was with Mario Carboni, and the two of them played the Bakersfield sound all night long. It was great!

I got to talk to norm a little before the show, and what a sweetheart of a guy he is. I could feel the history of American steel guitar as he told me the line-up of what he'd played on in his career (Rickenbacker, Fender, Bigsby, in that order). He got to Bigsby and Mario dragged him away to play. Boy, what a wonderful chance it was to meet and talk to one of the only very early hall of famers left - and a dadgum nice gent if there ever was one!
