Norm was a Super Musician and One of the Funniest People in Nashville. When He went into his old Prospector Routine he could Crack up anybody. Fun Guy to be around.

A friend, from a long time back. He was even funny when he was feeling bad. When he lost his CiCi, his tears never stopped. Maybe not visible, at times, but they were there, with a whole lot of hurt included. I coulden't make the service, i've got a BAD health problem of my own, for a short term, He'd understand, very easily. See ya' on the Boolevard, my man!!"Little" Buddy.

My first "big time" artist gig in Nashville was with Norm. Sad.

He used to play on the "Waking Crew", too. I woke up to the program every morning when I was in Nashville.
