I'm jealous, I also have seen Norman Jay DJ down under in Sydney back in 95'
(Vibes On A Summers day). I would also like to see him up in heaven when I die.
Is he a residence in Australia now as he seems to spend most of his time there?
(can't say I blame him). Is the Vibes thing still going on there and is that
the outdoor show that your talking about? I saw United Future
Organization,Vibraphonic, Andy Glitre (to name a few) live there who were all
pretty good. If it was the same show who else was there? Guess it's nice and
warm there to!

Peace, Love and Unity
