Norton Buffalo and his wife playing live at Angelo's restaurant in Chico,CA

[DrNSalmon]

Superb performance. As a musician myself (albeit not in Norton's league), I sympathize regarding the circumstances. He is pouring his heart into that harmonica. Simply beautiful.

This is why I wont play in clubs and pubs . Someone playing excellent stuff and morons chattering like idiots. They dont deserve good music.

[NedKraft]

If you're offended by the chattering audience notice the little wink at 0:35. He was a great guy and great player. Under-appreciated, but not unloved or unappreciative. Knew that there was no future in live music, but still gigged. Sometimes disappointed, but always encouraging. I'm mostly glad that he found a great wife to share several years with at the end. RIP Norton. I'll be singing and playing a couple of your songs at a gig next week.

Awesome harmonica player ,,always though of him as top shelf player in the music today , and when he started ,, I truly learned to play by his technique,,and what a master at his craft ''Norton Buffalo was ,, R.I.P

[honeydawg]

Wow, thanks for posting this! Norton had such a distinctive voice on the chromatic harmonica, though he was so much better known for his blues harp. What a gem. And... hey... any musician can tell you about venues like this one, where no one seems to be listening. But listen to him. It doesn't seem to matter. RIP Norton.

@honeydawg GREAT COMMENT!

[rockafella60]

What? When did Norton Buffalo die? He was one of my favorite harp players. And yes people wouldn`t know good music if it slapped them in the face. They have to be told by the media what is good.

[doda26]

Such beautiful music from this fine duet. He has been an inspiration to me since I first heard him play in the early 70s. Still there are people in the audience who are only interested in the sound of their own voices. When you listen you will learn from the Masters.

Rest In Peace, Norton Buffalo

[longlivejerryg]

So sad that such a great artist was forced to play such venues full of blabbermouths who ere to stupid an superficial to appreciate who as playing for them

[kotashan]

Norton,

We miss you.

REST IN PEACE

[davygspot]

[thompsonlake]

[studofrichmond]

Love It.

[Comuna]

[tico50]

I just read that Norton has passed away. What a Fantastic Talent. Physically lost to us but not spiritually!

[randyohle]

what a shame these blabbermouth's ruined this video.

I don't even breath when I'm in his presence

[000donna]

Man, people are in the presence of genius and don't have the brains to show a little respect???? Close your mouth and open your ears, folks!!!!

[doda26]

@000donna

I agree with you. Maybe they`re all talking on their cell phones. They were standing behind the door when brains, respect, morals and understanding were being given out.

You know ....Morons!

[JimR56]

Always great to see another Norton Buffalo video. Too bad this cuts off before the song ends. Lovely version of Luiz Bonfa's "Manha de Carnaval". Thanks for sharing.

[wheresblair]

Norton was so good with Dave Mason 1-16-09 at the El Rey Chico Ca.
