On Episode 139 the hosts are joined by the humble but legendary David '5-1' Norman.  He tells many stories from his time with Prince. They talk about how he got the nickname '5-1', how empathy and respect is at the core of a successful Tour Manager, and more.

This episode is sponsored by Audix and Allen & Heath.

With over 35 years of international tour experience, David '5-1' Norman has been Tour Director, Tour Manager, Production Manager and Tour Accountant for many of the world’s top artists covering all genres of music (Prince, John Legend, Green Day, John Fogerty, Earth, Wind & Fire, Avicci, Alicia Keys, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss and Dream Theater to name a few).
