As a professional drummer, I have recorded and performed live in many original and cover bands over many years. Some of these bands include:Macbeth,SuddenUrge,StrikePoint,Leisurescream,RadioFl yer,Mercury Crush,Militia,Tipsy Mcstagger Band.Music has the power to transform people.My spirituality is practicing daily rituals such as drumming and painting. Creative expression is key to my happiness and finding harmony using a balance of color and sound within nature.Recently, I performed accross the country in a tour of the upper mid-west states with the Tipsy McStagger band.We played clubs, bars and casino's and traveled in a camper with a trailer attached with all our equipment inside.We performed live 4-6 nights per week for large audiences and we always rocked their socks off! I believe in the power of dance, drums and sounds in nature to transorm and transcend the human spirit.I also LOVE to paint, usually on very large canvas, there I can express myself creatively, artistically. Most of my paintings are portraits of famous musicians however, I like to paint anything in nature including but not limited to people,cats, dogs and horses.See below slideshow of my newest paintings"They are not long, the days of wine and roses; through a misty dream,our path emerges for a while,then closes.... within a dream."WWW.MYSPACE.COM/NORMSSONMUSIC to listen to some of my recent drum tracks.
