LARRY NORMAN Benefit CONCERT
SATURDAY - AUGUST 12th, 2006 in Salem Oregon,
USA
Last year we put on a concert at The Elsinore
Theatre. It was a very expensive venue, but the
church in Beaverton couldn't take the concert so we
looked around Salem for a large hall and that was
The Elsinore. Because of the high costs charged by
The Elsinore we had to charge high ticket prices.
This year we have scaled down the ticket prices
because of the lower costs of the hall.
THE CONCERT STARTS AT SIX O'CLOCK PM (6:00
pm). It will end about 8:30 or 9:00 for parents who
have to get their children up for church in the
morning. The three hour concert will include multi-
media: A short film, surprise guests, Larry solo and
Larry with the band, Guards Of Metropolis.
On Sunday (the next day) we will have a Band House
Barbecue. There is a private party the next day
starting in the afternoon and, if the weather is
amenable, going until the Police raid the party like
last year. There will be great, great food prepared
by our favorite chef and his merry little helpers.
There will be a short church service and Bible Study.
It is for both parents and children. There will be an
auction of Larry's guitars, awards, rare T-shirts,
posters, unreleased CDs and stage clothing. We
might even auction off Larry's car. We are having
trouble keeping apace with Larry's medical
expenses. That's why this is a Benefit Concert. The
auction is not a garage sale. You can go online and
look at some of the items available in a few weeks.

MUSIC SEMINAR
On Monday there will be a Solid Rock School.
Jason Carter Seminar:
At 12:00 Jason Carter will be giving drum lessons
and tips and share a few stories from the session
he went to in Hollywood where Phil Collins was
recording an album, being the drummer in the
McDonald's touring band .........
Silver Sorenson Seminar:
At 1:30 an amazing bass player, classically trained
but recording and touring in the rock band: Silver
Sorenson will be giving bass guitar lessons,
pointers on how to play professionally and will be
joined by Jason Carter to show how recording
artists create bass and drum patterns which need to
be "synchronized" to emphasize certain beats (one
of the most common errors young bands make,
because they're not aware of the professional
techniques.)
Charles Norman Seminar:
At 3:00 Charles Norman will give guitar lessons
(good for both beginners and advanced guitar
players) talk about his recording sessions, (perhaps
his relationship with Guns and Roses and
recordings with Dizzy) explain both acoustic guitar
and electric guitar and the professional use of an
amp and how to record in the studio. An invaluable
seminar for those who don't even play an
instrument but want to record in the studio as a
singer . . . joined on stage by Jason and Silver to
demonstrate various approaches to performing and
recording.
Larry Norman Seminar:
At 5:00 Larry is giving two seminars which will
attempt to cover the whole music industry from
signing a contract, how to get concerts, how to
perform onstage, how to record in the studio, vocal
projection for public speaking, short cuts to
songwriting, Paul McCartney, Bono, recording a
concert performance.
There will be a folder of printed literature for each
class, legal recording contracts, legal management
contracts and other things you'd have to pay a
lawyer for. You will get them for free.
Go online to LarryNorman.com to see which Larry
Norman Seminars features which subjects.
All Day Seminar Ticket:
This will cover all of the Seminars, any food or
drinks served, private conversation with the artists.
You won't have to leave the building. Rare and
unreleased items will be available to those who stay
all day. We have only a few copies of some of these
items so we're not showing them to everyone. (They
will be removed from the table when the
Seminar ticket holders re-enter the room.)
Directions etc. will be mailed to you with the
ticket(s). A complete map of the venue with address
etc. will be posted on the web-site in the next
couple of weeks. Please allow two weeks processing
time for your tickets. If you order your ticket(s) late
we will make them available for pick-up at the
venue. Tickets will be sold on the web-site until
August 10th or we are sold out.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact
us and we will help in any way we can.
Thank you and God bless you.
