[Tradjazz] Norman Burbank

[Steve Barbone]

I played with Norman off and on since 1988. He was an extraordinary tuba
player with great ears. Last saw him and played with him when Rick Knittel
did at Fred's Farm in Lafayette NJ.

He had a unique perspective about life and reincarnation. Said that he was
in his 7th and last life as a musician. Therefore he would be now be among
the angels in 7th heaven when he passed away.

Anderson and Campbell Funeral Home in Toms River are having visiting hours
for Norm this Monday between 2:00 and 4:00 PM.  There will also be a service
Monday evening starting at 8:30.

The funeral home address is 703 Main Street, Toms River and their telephone
number is 732 349 5700.

Sadly,
Steve Barbone
