Writing a song together gives everyone a part in the performance. Norman brought that approach to Alternative Paths Training School, and would like to share it with more community groups, including adults with intellectual disabilities.
He has begun exploring another collaboration. It is still an idea in development, with no confirmed date or event to announce.

LIVING HISTORY · FERRY FARM
A song for
young George.
For Norman, music and history often share a stage. In a public Presidents’ Day post from George Washington’s Ferry Farm, he recalls performing an original song he co-wrote about Washington growing up there, along with the national anthem.
It is a glimpse of what he brings to local history: a performer’s energy, a sense of occasion and a story people can gather around.
