One of my outandish claims to fame is that i know a bloke who's mother taught Norman's daughter to play piano. Fantastic bassplayer, am i right in saying he also did backing vocals at the same time live??

I'm sure you are right about that Mr Pickguard, I read that somewhere to - possibly in Bass Player Magazine.

Norman certainly plays it in F, and he effortllessly uses "one finger per fret" even on the low riff! The "live in Colchester" dvd has some great close up action of him playing it, as well as being a great entertaining watch
