Norm is still playing very well. It was a neat little show with the band consisting of Norm, Noel on electric rhythm, Mark Abbott subbing on bass for this gig, a fine drummer whose name I can't recall, Ben on lead and his mother on backing vocals.

They played for an hour and forty-five minutes straight and then did a short encore. It was very well received by the audience. I think Norm's fan club was there judging by the amount of applause he received and the line up to meet him at the shake-n-howdy after the show.
