Today’s episode marks the One Year Anniversary of the start of this channel and podcast. It is also 25 years since Norm left us.
I hope that you enjoy listening, share in the many laughs and smiles and maybe even a shed a tear or two. I know I have.
I will continue to work hard to bring you content with some plans and ideas for this channel that I hope will entertain you as we begin year 2.
Like, subscribe and share…across all the platforms. It really helps.
I’m considering starting a Patreon where you could support the channel and podcast and a portion of that revenue would go to support the Norm Nathan Scholarship fund at the Berklee College of Music.
We shall see what the next year brings!
