Mark Agnesi back at Norm's. So comforting :) I love that Gibson will allow Fender, Rick, Gretsch, etc to be included in their videos. I admire that confidence and acknowledgment that even the most brand-loyal Gibson fanatic still has a love affair with every great, classic guitar, regardless of who made it. We're all guitar fanatics first and foremost.

Mark: You're still missed by many at GOTD!! Glad we have all the old video clips.

I LOVE YOU NORM, YOUR THE GOAT OF GUITARS, THANK-YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE 🎸🎸🎸🎸

[WaterburnerActual]

Best 1-O-1 conversation, where y'all are reminiscing, and realizing what the Good Ole Days are, once again.
Yep, absolutely the best. Thank y'all x1B 👍.

I 've bought a guitar from Norm in person, what a legend.

[TJJJJJJJJJJJ]

Mark just made up for the whole authentic debacle with this interview IMO. This was really professionally and tastefully done. Well done mark

Another Great one, been with Norms from the beginning, I remember Agnesi's very first Guitar of the day to the Lemmo switch over and Still rolling Along.
Jen, without you where would they be, Thanks to ALL of the people who make it All happen there at

[aaronperrotta]

You can really see Norm's sincerity in this video. It's scary to hear Covid's impact on businesses, even one as well established as Norm's. Hopefully in the near future us gigging musicians can get back out there and entertain some folks. Mark you guys at Gibson are doing a great job. Bought an SG standard recently, love it.

[danamilkyway]

only Norman Harris who can said:
"you know i told you not to go"

and it feels like slapping Mark face softly 😂

[ryanpoitress]

Oh man, I miss Mark. His GOTD episodes got me through each week. Lemmo is great and all but Mark’s personality will never be topped. All EQs at noon, just a little bit of reverb!

[waynegriffin]

I could listen to these two talk guitars all day long

[alexwilkie]

When Mark walked into the back room my heart went 💔

[richosburn]

Lemmo is great. Agnesi is legendary. “True freaking bypass!” #legit

[patricksuto]

went in there a few years back with my dad. at the time i was extremely obsessed with green day, and being a bass player the first thing i did was pick up a gibson ripper they had at the time. i just stood there in awe at this amazing instrument that i had just watched mark do a guitar of the day on. mark being the nice dude he was came over and allowed me to plug in, and was all around a super nice guy. needless to say i sat there and played the same four songs on that thing for hours lol.

[n.tucker]

Gibson did the right thing bringing Mark on board. Killer videos.

[dpaul.guitars]

I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to talk guitars with Mark and Norm, both super knowledgeable and great guys. Gibson TV is awesome!

[andrewmcdonough]

As a bassist I miss Mark doing Thumpin’ Thursday and ragging on it. My favorite was when he reported the passing of a music legend and then said, “and what’s worse Thumpin’ Thursday!l

Loved this...what a lovely bloke Norm is.
