Red Norvo (born Kenneth Norville, March 31, 1908 – April 6, 1999) was one of jazz's early vibraphonists, known as "Mr. Swing". He helped establish the xylophone, marimba, and vibraphone as jazz instruments. His recordings included "Dance of the Octopus", "Bughouse", "Knockin' on Wood", and "Hole in the Wall".

Norvo recorded and toured throughout his career until a stroke in the mid-1980s forced him into retirement (although he developed hearing problems long before his stroke). He died at a convalescent home in Santa Monica, California at the age of 91.

You'll have to know what a convalescent home is, which is a place dedicated to the gradual recovery of health and strength in a patient after illness or injury. It caters for those in the later stage of an infectious disease or illness when the patient recovers and returns to previous health, but may continue to be a source of infection to others even if feeling better.

You see, they haven't been doing a good job in Norvo's convalescent home. He didn't convalesce as much as die there.

He's touring with xylophone fun to have xylophone fun and warn people against the dangers of convalescent homes in the breaks.
