Norton Buffalo, harmonica player extraordinaire, turns 58 today.Not all that big a deal, except that he's just been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, and it has spread into his brain.
Norton has played with many of the great ones. Steve Miller (for 28 years), Roy Rogers, Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Cash, the Doobie Brothers, Elvin Bishop, Merl Saunders, . . . Some of Norton's most touching work is on The Vultures, an all-acoustic string-band-style sendup of sixties hits like Alley Cat, Stranger on the Shore and Moon River.
Here's one guy I'm going to miss when he's gone. Happy Birthday Norton!!!
