I got word this morning that Norton passed away last night from lung cancer. He found out he was sick in July, and barely made it three months. Terrible, terrible shame.
The guy was amazing on harmonica, and has played with many of the greats. Besides touring with Steve Miller for more than 30 years, he's added his talents to numerous albums, namely the Doobie Brothers' Minute By Minute album. He was also in Bette Midler's "The Rose" band, and appears in the movie and on the soundtrack album. In the past few years, I got to see him perform with Laurence Juber (formerly of Wings), and with Big Brother And The Holding Company. Really a bummer. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Diamond Headz" group.
