Norman Patrick Morrison

I've been making up tunes and lyrics since I could make noise. My grandfather Manuel Souza used to put new words to song melodies that he knew. He rubbed off onto me through my mom. My early music making got us (Terry Kincannon & myself) a signed contract with Folklore Productions (Chandos Music) way back in the early 70's. But we had a disagreement with them which created a problem. In 2009 I decided to purchase our songs back from that publisher. In 2013 all of a sudden I was being contacted by record and music people from The UK, Spain, France, Chicago (USA) and Los Angeles (USA). I was wondering why all this interest all of a sudden? A vinyl record we did in 1978 had a ton of DJ enthusiasts wanting to get a copy of that 45 record. Then I looked up on line and saw that one of my old records was being fought over on EBAY and the winning bid for one record was $54 and some change. Pretty soon I was contacted by Claremont Music UK to work out a deal to do a new release of this song called "To See One Eagle Fly". It was actually the B side song of that record. In 2016 they released that single doing the original version on one side and a long version on the other mixed by Paul Murphy. They then asked if I had any other songs for them to preview. I started transfering songs to digital from reel to reel. In 2018 they put out a double album of "Morrison Kincannon" recordings with the title being "Beneath The Redwoods". Since then two more albums have been released under Morrison Kincannon and another release will be out soon under that name. In the meantime my Christian music has been growing. My last release was " Thy Word Is Settled" under "Norman Patrick Morrison. These past four years since have been personally tough. I lost my Father to cancer, then my brother Wally to cancer. Then my mother passed away. And then my long time friend Terry Kincannon AKA "tk" (pronounced "teek") also passed from cancer. Then my best friend from grammer and highschool passed. I had been putting together some beautiful songs for the Lord and have been very blessed to have such a great studio band giving me support from all over the states. Don Turney who has his own DKS Productions Studio is a very gifted musician and producer played piano, organ and MIDI instruments and sang backing vocals on several songs. Rob and Carrie Rinderer helped out with some backing vocals on the new release (Ever Singing Your Praises). Along with them I had guitar help from Mark Hood out of Nashville and excellent bass by Norm Stockton out of Southern California. Rob actually plays keyboards for Norm on his most recent recording. Mark Hood used to be on the same worship team with Norm Stockton. I was forced to use musicians that had their own studios which saved costs. But I have to give a plug for Tommy Reinthaler who played so much fine guitar on my last release and he's also the acoustic guitar player on "Beneath The Redwoods" . You have to listen to that work. It's beautiful. Jason Edwards is playing drums on this new release. And Erdis Maxhelaku plays a beautiful cello on the last number called "Bring Me Back".
