( Brian
Gladstone's lyrics )
Peter Solmes and Dean Cavill each wrote songs about Norm that they performed at "Norm's Living Room" open stage at the Tranzac
Matt MacLeod wrote "A Songwriter's
Songwriter" for Norm a few days after his passing and performed
it with a set of Norm's songs at Cafe Paradiso in Fairfield Iowa on December
5, 2007. "Norm inspired many a singer-songwriter to take the stage
and perform their own songs.
"A Songwriter’s Songwriter" is dedicated to the spirit
of Norm Hacking, who continues to live in all of our music." Listen
to Matt MacLeod's "A Songwriter's Songwriter" on his site.
