OK -I get to drop names- I know both these guys and they are consumate 
pros-duh? They both have over developed senses of humor and SM might have 
thought it funny to introduce NB as just "a backup singer/percussionist" 
(BTW--Norton does a lot of studio work as a singer too.)

The coolest thing about this is that SM probably realizes that Norton's 
amazing displays of virtuosity on harp throughout the show (even though he 
doesn't play all that much) spoke for themselves. People would have to have 
been sleeping not to notice Norton was the harp palyer. He is also quite 
animated on stage.

NB once told me: "I play more harp in the first set with MY band than I play 
on an entire SM summer tour!"
