"Paul is by far the best engineer for live music. He would always be my first call. He was my head engineer for years and I still miss him. He is by far qualified for whatever. He is meticulous in his work effort. A great problem solver someone you would always want on your team in a crisis. I could not give a higher recommendation than the one that I have for Paul Norman."
