    Another GrEaT OnE Craig! I love it when contemplators get-ahead. You can sense the courage & torque it took to carve out his niche. Rather than just ‘parking’ the ideas, he manifested into life what he was imagining. National treasure is right. 👍

    I did not know that Norm played with Jaco, really mind blowing! I wonder how Norm feels about Jaco’s self destruction in light of his work with the shelter.

    • @EveryoneLovesGuitar
      @EveryoneLovesGuitar  Год назад

      Sadly, being in the music industry - especially back then... I'm sure Jaco is unfortunately one on a long list of people who have self-destructed. Be well Tris!

    Thanks for posting this. I'm surprised it's only just shown up in my RUclips recommendations. It's a really insightful interview with someone who's done so much to influence the vintage guitar market we know today. Norm comes across as a really decent guy - straight and fair, whilst not shy to admit that it's a business. It's wonderful how much of his success is due to his wife's intuition and business sense. 😎

    12:10 $800 in 1970 is equivalent to nearly $6k today. Obviously can't buy one of *those* Les Pauls for $6k today, but can sure buy a nice one. This was a fun interview, Norm is great.
