When Norm talks about his friend Ed, I wonder if he’s talking about Ed of Ed‘s guitars. Ed had his store off of Bird Road in Miami, and he was legendary.

I remember the George Harrison, red Les Paul. My keyboard player worked at Whalin’s Sound City and I happened to be there when George brought in the Les Pauls! George was so nice and so funny! Quiet Beatle my arse…LOL he basically never shut up…

@rayvoorhies7180 День назад

I'm old enough to remember seeing Guitars and practice amps at Garage sales. Old gear just didn't have much respect or value in 1972. Everyone wanted to ditch their 60lb tube amps for lightweight solid state. Old guitars had warped necks and high action. Your local music store in 1972 didn't know how to reset a neck. It's a totally different world today. Vintage gear is sought after and valuable.

Great interview

@admarhermans1 4 дня назад

Great conversation! To realise that this man’s little guitar shop at present day is probably the best known guitar shop decor in the whole world because of RU-vid! You can even recognize certain guitars and the trusty Ampeg bass amp! Like it’s our local music shop! (I’ve never been to the USA!) Like the Cheers bar. 😄 Also great to see and hear that in real life, like on this pod, this man is even more Norm(al) than on his shop’s RU-vid channel. Perhaps that is because being in these RU-vid videos just might be less easy than it looks... I just ordered his book, really looking forward to reading it! 🖖

@rowbags3017 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for posting this. I'm surprised it's only just shown up in my RU-vid recommendations. It's a really insightful interview with someone who's done so much to influence the vintage guitar market we know today. Norm comes across as a really decent guy - straight and fair, whilst not shy to admit that it's a business. It's wonderful how much of his success is due to his wife's intuition and business sense. 😎

12:10 $800 in 1970 is equivalent to nearly $6k today. Obviously can't buy one of *those* Les Pauls for $6k today, but can sure buy a nice one. This was a fun interview, Norm is great.

I know there's no way they could possibly know how many stolen guitars they have bought but my 1984 Gibson Karina V was stolen by a pawn dealer from the pawn shop and sold to a man that flew from Texas to get it and then it wound up at Norm's rare guitars 10 years later and I see him selling it and there's nothing I can do about it except for show him the pictures and the paperwork and prove that this store robbed me

I did not know that Norm played with Jaco, really mind blowing! I wonder how Norm feels about Jaco’s self destruction in light of his work with the shelter.

Sadly, being in the music industry - especially back then... I'm sure Jaco is unfortunately one on a long list of people who have self-destructed. Be well Tris!

Isn’t he allowed to make money- the American Dream? He followed his passion and was/is successful. If you stumbled upon a bargain would you reveal the true worth?
