I'm curious if any of the non pedal folks have come across this book by Norm Cohen? I bought a used copy on Amazon, and it just arrived. Looks very good. With my new interest in resonator guitar, I realized I know very little about folk/bluegrass music. The author organises it by region. I'll crack it open over the 4th...

That's one expensive book! $205.00 in hard cover. It would take a a fiddle player to afford that book.

Hah, Tom, bought mine used on amazon for about 18. Its an interesting book. Very scholarly. Its a little dry perhaps. But lots of info though.
