"Let me start by saying that I’m a professional musician. NormStockton.com, GroovesAndSushi.com and ArtOfGroove.com are an online extension of what I believe is my life’s calling and what I’ve been gifted to do. I make every effort to operate these sites at the highest level of excellence and integrity. Art Of Groove Academy is an instructional site created in response to a great many requests I've received over the years from people interested in advancing their musical development.
Beyond the verbiage below, I just want to offer you my personal commitment that I will never sell, rent, lease or otherwise share any personal information you provide to me or my websites.
God bless you & your musical endeavors!"
