Happy Birthday, Rocket Norton!

Carole and I were invited to Rocket Norton’s 65th birthday party.  As the drummer for PRISM for those many years it was great to see support for his birthday from so many musical friends. The band played with Rocket drumming as only he can. Entertainment included members of Theatre Sports doing a satire on Rocket’s life. Rocket is a family man and his kids and grandkids attended the affair. Friends included Wayne Cox and his wife and “Jolly” John Tanner.

For food they cleverly invited a food wagon and the Nortons picked up the tab for all our food. Some other bands performed as well. David Wills of the band Stonebolt blew everyone away. I think we forget from time to time the great talent this town has produced. A very happy birthday, Rocket!
