Norman "not visually appealing". Are you having a laugh? He looks a proper geezer. No b/s, doesn't care about image, just about playing good notes.

Oh no, don’t get me wrong, he’s certainly one of my favourite bass players and most certainly proper geezer, I’m referring to the fact that people who do care about image may disregard him. NWR is someone I wholly aspire to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
