The Gentle Sound - Roger Nicholson

Howdy,

Here's a question for those who knew Roger and his playing style.  On Appalachian Medley (on The Gentle Sound of the Dulcimer album) it sounds like he is using a noter.  Did he every use a noter?  Then on Bright Shines the Moon it seems like you can hear a pick slapping the strings.  I never knew of him using a pick, but nothing is out of the relm of possibility.  As an old fingerpicker on the guitar I have tried to imitate some of his playing, but he was certainly unique.
