The 'Whiskey Before Breakfast' Cover D-18: Bob Minner, Chris Eldridge, Bryan Sutton and Kenny Smith
Bluegrass greats Bob Minner, Chris Eldridge, Bryan Sutton, and Kenny Smith discuss and play the 1936 Martin D-18 that graced the cover of Norman Blake's seminal 'Whiskey Before Breakfast' album. They also talk about Blake's guitar playing (and collecting) and much more.
Says Minner: "Through a series of unplanned events on my end, the 1936 D-18 that was featured on the front and back cover of Norman Blake’s 1976 album, 'Whiskey Before Breakfast,' came into my possession for a few weeks. The owner, Brent Hawley, has owned the guitar since late 1975 when he acquired it via Rob Griffin, a mutual friend of Brent and Norman. Brent wanted me to make a short video with the guitar before he started the selling process.
"With such a historic instrument connected to Norman, it made sense to call up some friends - Bryan Sutton, Kenny Smith, and Chris Eldridge - to celebrate this guitar, the Whiskey Before Breakfast album, and just have a good time playing songs from it and talking shop."
