Final chapter of my road trip... I just left Notes Norton and his beautiful wife/ performing partner Leilani. They played a local gig at a marina (yes, a waterfront gig! how cool is that?)

Their repertoire is built around backing tracks that Notes created in BIAB using his own styles! (how cool is THAT??)

They keep their duo interesting in a variety of ways:
1) by maintaining a very large active song list

2) by playing a variety of different instruments in the course of the show

3) and by interacting with the audience at a very personal level. Patrons actually stopped to hug them as they left!! They know many of their audience members by name! Their audience not only enjoys their show, the audience loves them as people and as friends... I've rarely seen anything like this!

4) and by visibly acting out how much fun they are having! Their enthusiasm for performing is truly infectious, and I can honestly say that watching their show filled me with a profound sense of joy.

After the show Notes and Leilani very graciously took me to a wonderful restaurant (also on the water, fantastic view, fantastic food and fantastic company! Thank you Notes and Leilani!)

Because the season for performing does not last the whole year, the Nortons like to travel during their off-season. If you ever have the opportunity to meet them, ask about their travels... they have been EVERYWHERE! and their experiences have been truly unique and off the beaten path.

But the best thing of all is the glow that marks the unmistakable presence of deep love and respect between two people. When Notes and Leilani sit beside each other you can almost see sparks flying between them! I am not in the habit of envying others, but I find myself wishing for a relationship like theirs... and for the unique brand of contentment they have built into their lives by making choices that allow them to live exactly the life that thrills them.

Thanks for helping me to arrange a meeting with two people I've liked and respected from a distance for years. My expectations were high, but the reality was better. Bob and Leilani, you will always be welcome in my home!

How about Pat write new lyrics to Johnny Cash's "I've Been Everywhere"? Sounds like a hit in the making. grin

Eddie,
there's a high likelihood I'll take you up on that offer... but probably not until the weather in Ohio is a lot warmer than it is today!

Steve,

Notes and Leilani Norton would be the ones to write THAT song!

And I am happy to be counted among the lucky that Pat was gracious enough to visit on his road trip.

He patiently sat through 3 hours of us goofing off on 'stage' and then went out to a decent waterfront restaurant and spent a few hours enjoying each others company.

It was a real treat for both Leilani and myself to spend some time visiting with a old friend that we met in person for the first time.

Thanks for stopping by, Pat.

I think by now all of us who take the time to participate in the forums realize that this is a pretty cool place to hang out. It operates very much like a family as floyd has pointed out. Pat Marr is the embodiment of all that is good about this place. A gracious and humble man that I now call my friend. What he has done with this series of visits has brought us all a little bit closer together and he should be commended for his efforts. In his own words " How cool is that?" Thanks Pat. Tom

Nope, not the original lyrics. These were made so Hank Snow could sell this song in the States. The original sound a bit different:

You're welcome. Not many know this. I've Been Everywhere is "soo" country that nobody questions that it is an original by Hank Snow even if some guy named Geoff Mack wrote it. (There were many cover recordings, most of them with the North-American words.) I've learned about it through an album by the LeGarde Twins. Before then, I also never knew that this is an Aussie original.

And here's a picture of a pretty cool dude to hang out with. Especially if there's a campfire, some musical instruments, and some stories to tell... wink
