Absolutely.

In the vein of older artists, Norma Tanega seems like her work was cut short

Studies show that when a given norm is changed in the face of the unchanging, the remaining contradictions will parallel the truth.

Neapolitan

Back when we use to plug together I would play "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog" and "A Street That Rhymes At 6 A.M." I am surprised you mentioned her, outside of Captain Beefheart I thought we had nothing in common. I actually played those two songs more times than Chula Vista played Peter Frampton "Show Me the Way."

Norma only released two albums on her own, but recorded nine albums with various group projects. For those reasons stated I don't know how to place her. Is she a prolific or non-prolific artist? I trust you with whatever criterion you used to describe her as non-prolific.

Hank "Sugarfoot" Garland - Sugarfoot Rag

Hank Garland was part of the Nashville A-Team. He recorded a four solo albums in the span of two years. Then in September 1961 he was in an automobile accident that ended his recording career.

John Chowning - Stria

John Chowning invented FM synthesis while working at Stanford University in the late 60s. Stanford licensed it to Yamaha in the 70s and it took till the 80s where it became a household item. The the most popular FM synthesizer was the DX7 which was used by Brian Eno to A-ha. In some elusive way John Chowning changed the soundscape of music.

For whatever reason John Chowning did not pursue recording and releasing music, which I think is a shame. If anyone in the world I released more albums it would be John Chowning. The one album of his work is a collection of four compositions he recorded over the span of several years. His last composition was in '05.
