I seem to remember a video of this from circa 1973
(yes, they were making music videos back then, and
long before then, but for some reason people decided
to invent them as a "new" concept around 1980). Of
course he was lip-synching (or is that
harp-synching?), but Norton wore a baggy gray suit and
a big wide-brimmed fedora and pulled different harps
from various suit pockets, turning the harp-swithcing
into a bit of shtick. It was pretty cool as I
remember.
