(San Francisco Chronicle) - Norton Buffalo, harmonica
virtuoso, one-of-a-kind performer and consummate

County). He was 58.

Mr. Buffalo, who appeared on more than 180 albums -

a member of the Steve Miller Band, was diagnosed with
cancer in September. His life will be celebrated Jan. 23 at
the Fox Theater in Oakland in a benefit concert starring

I have seen Norton play live many, many times while I was living
in the bay area in the 1980s. His recordings do no justice to
the feeling he had always projected towards the audience when playing live.
Such energy! The man was one of the best.
Sad news, indeed.

I've seen Norton perform more than any other musician. My wife and I
both enjoyed every show.
