Charlie Norris Memories
This video brings back memories of the late Charlie Norris of Texas,
a great friend to me, and probably a mutual friend of many of you.
The video also has a photo and information about his purchase of
the National Electric Hawaiian (7S): 1935 which he purchased as
a teenager.
CHARLIE NORRIS MEMORIES
I hope all enjoy.

Thanks very much for posting.
I am a big fan of the National cast guitars.
I enjoyed the story of your friend and the song you played.
Kind regards

Michael, I wrote Todd Clinesmith regarding a casting for a steel guitar similar
to the National 7 string shown which I own, and that was previously owned by
Charlie Norris. Here is only a portion of his reply:

Hi C,E,
It's tough to say. A pattern could cost thousands of dollars
to have built with those details. ------
Todd gave me a very detailed and lengthy answer regarding preparation of a similar casting
cost and costs for additional castings, which I greatly appreciated.
After Todd's answer and detailed explanations, I have a much greater appreciation for
vintage National, Gibson and other metal body steels.

CE.
It appears you can add the title of recording artist to your friend Charlie Norris.
I am awaiting delivery of this cassette with the National Cast guitar pictured on the front.

I was looking thru some of my instructional material and found this book that Charlie produced.
.
Until your post I was not aware of Charlies history .
If there was an audio cassette or CD that came with the book sure would like to get a copy if any one has .
Thanks
