Norm Webber was the kindest, most loving and caring human being I have or will ever get the opportunity to meet in my lifetime. He loved life, the arts, people and God with more passion than any one person I have yet to meet. A gifted dalle-de-verre artist with many public works on the island of Oahu (Hawaiian Islands) he would spend every waking moment pursuing the things he felt important; his church projects, . helping those in need and checking his calender to make sure not a single birthday, holiday or social event was ever missed by "Uncle Norm". Having been his friend for 15 years I can honestly say that he would have asked God to wait until he was absolutely sure that those he loved were "OK" and "Well taken care of" before he ascended to Heaven. This song was my way of telling him to go ahead; we will all be fine; God is calling you for much more important projects in Heaven. I am sure that God has a high place for my friend; whose faith and love for mankind and God should set the standard for us all to follow...he truly set an example of how to be a exemplary human being. He is and will always remain at the top of my "Best People Ever List" second only to God. If anyone could truly be ordained a Saint; my vote as well as many, many others would be undoubtedly Norm Webber. Thank you (much mahalos) Norm, my best friend forever. You will ALWAYS be in our hearts and truly, truly missed....
Dan-t is right, you must bring your voice more to the foreground...
be not afraid of loudness even in "silent" pieces of music...
Now it sounds like a live take in a cavern or a garage, and I think it´s a take wich needs more....

I like the way you picked the mandolin in an arpeggio style(I'll have to try that). Sounds like Norm was a rare find. We are fortunate when we can find even one friend like that.
