Norton Buffalo Remembered

Update: This is now a two day event. The first day of Norton's Benefit is Sunday November 22nd and is sold out. They have added another show Monday evening November 23rd and have added Maria Muldaur, Barry Melton's Band, Linda and David La Flamme, and others. $40 General Admission. Toll Free 1-877-397-3363 for tickets. Lisa wants the proceeds from the second show to go to PPAC in Norton's name because he loved the theater and was working to save it before he passed.

Somewhat off topic, but I have been asked if I could provide a little pointer to a good cause or two.

    Norton Buffalo said that his stage debut was in Berkeley at the New Orleans House, with Richmond's South Bay Experimental Flash, sometime in 1969, so he belongs on this blog as much as anyone does.

    IT is a great point - I don't know when Norton played - there are about a dozen options. But a great test of our mortality. We need to support like isseus as (like it or not) keepers of the key.
