[Harp-L] Re: Norton Buffalo RIP

[Michael Easton <diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I first discovered Norton on a Best of Steve Miller lp around 1982  
then went searching for Norton's recordings.
His solo stuff from the late 70's early 80's made an impression on me  
too.  Much different from his style in later years IMHO.
I thought his vocals sounded a lot like Boz Scaggs back then.  He  
played chromatic on one of the lps that really caught my attention.

Hate to See you go Norton.
