Fred & Friends

Live House Concert with Tony Norris - Bill Burke - Fred Coon

Tony Norris

This recording was at a house concert in Prescott, AZ. I was honored when Tony Norris asked me to join him and Bill Burke for the performance. Tony wrote and arranged songs and was truly a master storyteller. The beauty of his song arrangements goes unchallenged. Tony passed away in 2026, and Bill Burke and I lost a true friend. Arizona and the world lost a musical treasure.

On occasion, I joined Tony’s group, The Springfed Band. Our Flagstaff concert is on this website, as well. He inspired me in so many ways. He was a man who truly marched to the beat of a different drum and the world was so much better for it.
