I learned more about Norm's early days, riding freight trains, and writing pilot episodes of a show called Four Sharps in a Flat. I don't know if know this but a flat is what they call an apartment in Angleterre. Do I know anything more about Norm? Yes I do. I need to listen to Oscar Levant. I've always thought of myself as a raconteur, and God dammit, I am in my own way. I alienate a red-haired church-lady with my stories, but there's no risk. The worst she can do is poke me with one of these ski poles the ladies now use -- presumably to raise their heart rate. Baby I'll raise you heart rate. Oh yeah.
