I can tell you the Showmen brought the house down and blew the doors off a club and if you did not see Norman (General) in those days he was something to watch work a crowd on stage. I left the music biz in the early 70’s but not before Mike Branch became a friend, he booked our band (Cannonball). Mike did the major Beach Music festivals before his plane crash and death left us all missing a very important part of the New beach music movement that was bringing new and younger people into it in the 70’s that are still around today. When Mike and Norman teamed up and started the record label it was the best thing that ever happened to Beach Music in my opinion. Mike left us over 30 years ago and now it seems Norman “General” Johnson has left us but he has also left us with his Songs…and as he once said something like “I can’t do anything else…I can write a song”, and I might add some real GOOD ONES! http://ODShag.com I knew Norman in the Showmen days (Mid 60’s) when our band the Impacts traveled with them as their back up band for a while.
