Jimmy Norman Update

I haven't forgotten about the updates on Johnny Brantley productions sometimes these thingss take more time than you think. I need to collate what Hannibal, Hermon Hitson and Freddie have told me plus other information which has come to hand.

I have been holding back on posting anything on Jimmy Norman who worked with Johnny in the 60's because I wanted to interview him but he continues to suffer ill health. I wish him well on his recovery from a by-pass operation. Elsewhere on the blog, someone who worked with Jimmy in the 70's and 80's, Mike Chavers dropped by and updated me on Jimmy's health. I hope at some stage to speak to Mike Chavers and find out more about his work with Jimmy.

In the meantime, I have been listening to Jimmy's last CD "Little Pieces" which showcases his writing talents and though he had to finish it in his apartment due to ill health it is a fresh and vibrant CD. Check out Jimmy's website which has some of the stories behind the songs and a short bio of the man. This was one of my favourite CDs of 2004 because it was simple and honest and unaffected. Drop by Jimmy's website to listen to samples.
