Tony Norris, Southwest Entertainer

“Tony offers up stories, poems, historical accounts, tall tales, and songs in a tantalizing blend of education and entertainment. It holds my interest in a way that a presentation of any one form can’t match. If you close your eyes while listening to Tony’s account of the prized camp cook, you can hear the clanging of the old dutch oven, smell the cook fire, and taste the beans, beefsteak, and biscuits, along with the occasional pie or cobbler. With sure strokes, he places each song or poem into historical context.”

— Phil Heikkinen, Director, Show Low Public Library

My guests are Dr Henry Poore and Bill Burke. Bill Burke has been my music pardner for over 20 years.
