Tess's dad was in a band and the highlight of the night was usually Dave Bunday's drum solo. Several of us would dance to it. The drum surely was the first instrument?
This track really shows me that you know your stuff Norm. I bet they'll all be sampling it like mad. And why not? Ha ha.

A cool wind brings the fall
And the season starts to change.
Outside the sky's steel grey.
Inside my heart is too.
And I don't know how to…
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
Wanna go for a ride? Hop on in! (Many thanks to JQScutt for his excellent guitar work!)

This songs reminds me that this is the moment i have. No longer looking for the dawn for the dawn is here.
This is the moment
this is the moment
that i've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
the dawn and the dawn is coming soon
This is a good place for me to be....it does me good to remember this.
God around me
God within me
there's nothing i need to fear
always remember you're here
I was thinking about Haiti...
i don't know what to say
i don't know how to feel
when i'm way over here
and things are going well
my house is standing still
my friends are still alive
the smell of spring is in the air
and i just can't connect…
Written for a friend of mine.
be and i will be with you
you are a light house in this storm
you will overcome
you will overcome this storm
don't fear the wall for you will climb upon it.
you will see from higher ground
and the sun…
Improvisation on congas and very fragile, clay Moroccan bongos (which my brother found for me from an African display at some zoo!). These bongos are basically clay pots with permanent, very thin goat skins stretched over the top - they can not…
This is the first tune I wrote using an actual loop pedal. I really like the rawness of its form. The sound is sharp, it kind of attacks your ear.. but then after it loops around a few times, it calms down and sinks in..
I expect that there will…

Norm Harris performs the excellent percussion
Down by the riverside
Where all of the fish had died
I threw my faith right in
When I saw it, it was sinking
Oh don't you go
Don't you even dare
Don't run away until you…
A little scratch track from a few months ago. A song about the trials and tribulations of being 11 years old. Watching Six Million Dollar Man, dodging bullies and pretending our bicycles were Harleys.
I was at a friends house and saw a little…

Comments made by Norm
Awesome.
They tell me that "do not be afraid" is the most common scriptural command. This song is a beautiful reminder of that. Many thanks.
I can add nothing more than agreement to all of the preceding wonderful comments. Many thanks.
The harmonies are perfect and the lyrics fantastic... very profound and comforting.
Many thanks, Launched! It is always a blast working with ReefWalker.
Excellent! A loop pedal - how fun! Nice work here!
Nice Calypso beat!
I love your steel guitar work...
Very soulful. Well done!
Wailin'! I like how you end the song on the same pitch as the dial tone. "I'm out of here!"
Stunning.
This is a true piece of history, in more ways than one!
I'm really glad you posted this one. I love the sax work...
I just love this one...
Solid.
You must be surfing in California. You may find the temperature more appealing in Hawaii or Central America! ;) Thanks for listening!!
Ha! I agree - in fact I'm fairly certain that it is an unalienable right for all; but you've got to be very good about the sunscreen.
This DOES rock. Great concept, too.
You two did a great job with this. Tabla jazz - yes!
I must agree with Savage. Wendy's background voice is wonderful and really makes this one drift. I just love that. Well done.
