Tut Taylor Archive Cassette #044 graces us with a circa-1973 performance by Norman Blake, Tut Taylor, and Charlie Collins at 
the Old Time Pickin' Parlor, Nashville, TN.  While the fidelity of this tape is only fair (Side B sounds crisper than Side A), 
Norman performs a number of rarities (e.g., Ian Tyson's 'Red Velvet').  It seems that he was still working out the titles to 
some of his tunes as well; 'Coming Down From Rising Fawn' is titled 'Johnson's Crook' in this performance, and when he does 
play a newly composed tune he refers to as 'Coming Down From Rising Fawn', it is not the tune titled as such on 'The Fields 
of November' or 'Rising Fawn String Ensemble'; this song remains unreleased.  This performance starts on Side B, continuing 
on Side A; the entire performance in not included.  Enjoy this one, despite the less-than-stellar sound.
