My name is Norm Williams.  I co-managed the Seeds of Time, along with my very good friend, Jim Wilson, from 1967 through 1971.  The first time I saw them play, they opened for Country Joe & the Fish, at the Afterthought on 4th Ave.  We took the band on the road in the summer of '67 and again in '68...around B.C. and Alberta.

Rocket Norton's real name is Garry Wanstall.  His nickname was "Rock," which eventually became "Rocket."  Norton motorcycles makes a "Rocket" model, so that's where "Norton" came from.

Allan Hawirko.  "Horowitz" was a nickname, coined by Geoff Edington.

The Seeds of Time eventually teamed up with Bruce Fairbairn  and Jim Vallance and renamed themselves Prism. They had several hit albums and hit singles including a re-recording of the Seeds of Time Classic "Nickels and Dimes"
