NEWS UPDATES
HELLO FRIENDS, FANS, CLIENTS & COLLEAGUES
I'm proud to be a part of a great band called LuchaDOORS. After a successful run of club dates, the Luchas are currently busy recording http://www.myspace.com/whoaaretheluchadoors. I've also been performing once in a while with jazz duo Drono, mostly at private parties.
This is my 11th year as a proud member THE AUTHENTICS, a band specializing in old time rock'n'roll, and led by master vocalist TOMMY TASSI. Tommy performs a variety of esoteric and eclectic vocal oldies from the 50's, 60's and early 70's. My job descriptions are: keyboard/left-hand key bass/backup vocals. This winter, The Authentics will be performing at a series of private parties, but we'll get back to doing concerts in the summer. Watch for us, and I'll keep you posted. Remember: If you're looking to book the best and most unusial oldies band, drop Tommy an e-mail at tommytassi@juno.com, and let him know that NORMAN A. NORMAN sent you..:-)'
I'd like to say a special "Thanks to Sandra Piller. She and her fabulous country band the Wild Cards. If you like Country Music, or even if you don't, you'll love Sandra's sounds. Recently I had the pleasure of filling in with Sandra. Looking forward to doing so again.

Recently I also had the pleasure of filling in with blues legends Kal David & Laurie Bono with their band The Real Deal. Nowadays you can hear Kal perform with Eric Burdon.
My collection of originals continues to grow. I do not try to be a producer of master recordings. Instead, I use digital technology to record nice, clear demos. My collection of 9 songs, "Some Original Tunes", is available. No frills, no liner notes or cover. Just a simple demo CD in slim plastic case. $15 including shipping. If you'd like to buy a copy, please send a note from my contact page or send a check to:

Besides doing music, I've been taking photos most of my life. With the advent of digital photography and, more recently, the digital SLR camera, I've been inspired to take more photos. Later this year, I'll have my web site upgraded so that I can show the latest original "PHOTOZ BY NORMAN A. NORMAN". In the meantime, I'll take this moment to mention my friend and mentor John Michael Ferrari, who takes my professional pictures. Just as my strengths in photography are animal and journalistic photos, John is simply the BEST professional photographer of people. www.imagesbyferrari.com.
I'll contnue to update you on my latest professional adventures as they happen.
