Norman is, as I've probably mentioned before, a gem of a human being.  His
house is crammed to the ceiling with harmonicas of every description, a
collection of harp recordings from the beginning of time, plus several tons
of harmonica related junk.

David Michelsen and Norman have been teaching kids to play harp for over a
decade.  Their current crop of teenagers who have been studying with them
for most of that time have been out winning UK and World harmonica
championship categories by the dozen.

Watch out for "Harmonica Red", who I remember as a snotty 13 year old with
an attitude but is now a super nice 18 year old who plays the s*** out of a
harmonica.  I am 100% sure that Paul (for so he is named) will be one of
the stars of the harmonica world for a long time to come.
