Just saw that Norm is in a hospital recovering from surgery. Rare cancer: appendiceal neoplasms. Hope to hear good news about it soon.

Norm's Rare Guitars

It's very possible your ears have changed, or that the sound just wasn't working in a particular room. Are you a "set it and forget" kind of player, or do you readjust your EQ to every playing...

"You don't listen to much jazz in this style, correct?" Mr. B. Hi, J, I listen to Jazz/Classical/Latin music all day when I'm not playing. I, also, listen to "new music" by young musicians...

I didn't hear much really unusual in his harmonic approach. Not a criticism -- I thought he used the usual harmonic stuff quite well and, after all, this isn't outer space, it's aka What Is This...
