Charlie Norris was President of the Texas Steel Guitar Association for many years. He put together one of the best steel shows and it is still going strong today. I remember him being a kind man with a huge laugh.
Charlie included me on the Texas Steel Show for the last several years he was President as did Wayne Smith and Louie. Fun times! Charlie Norris was very good to me and I still miss him.

He sold me my first pro steel. I always enjoyed chatting with him at the Dallas show. In the later years he may not have remembered me, but I thanked him for all he did, and let him know how much I enjoyed the show. He was a good guy.
Charlie Norris also invited me to the Texas show - something I thought would never happen. Having attended this show for many, many years then being invited to be a part of it was a dream come true. Charlie was a business man, but when he was at the Texas show, just him being there made the show, icing on the cake was when Jody Sanders MC'd the show. A true Texas experience.
I first met Charlie and his family in Dallas when we first exhibited Peavey products there. I miss Charlie and his infectious smile. He was a good man that has been missed.
