Norah Jones,..

[PaulC]

A lil' sumptin' to listen to while you're here,.. or somewhere else:

She really sounds like a genuinely sweet person.... What stage do ya' think they pick for her??...

[ozzie]

She's a friggin doll... if I hadn't already decided to come back as Joss Stone in my next life, it would be Norah for sure. Or maybe Aretha. Or Irma. Or Marcia.

What stage do ya' think they pick for her??...

My guess is Sprint. They did shoehorn Diana Krall into the Jazz Tent a few years ago, but I think Norah (while not on the top of her popularity now like she was 3 years ago) is still too big a name for that.

[PaulC]

No doubt she rocks the beauty scale on the outside,.. and after listen' to her talk that beauty obviously reaches all the way to her inside too... Toss in that voice and talent of hers and you gots a combo that is overflowin' with riches... That said,.. I don't see myself doin' her whole set (oooouch,.. that will hurt),.. all dependin' on how the fest makers schedule her... What stage and time slot???....

Very cool feel to her website,.. nice artwork... I could see that landscape piece sellin' in a gallery... I can almost see me buyin' it...

Sorry Swag,.. I was eatin' breakfast and typin' at the same time.... didn't see your post before I posted the stage thing again... I can see Sprint,.. but not sure,.. and the time slot is the biggie... She's not a headliner,.. and she may be too mellow for the Sprint... I can see her on at least four different stages...

I think Swag is right..unless the Jazz Tent is that much larger this year.

[ozzie]

She could invite her daddy on stage (whichever it is) with her... that would be cool!

I can see the Jazz tent easy (hey my eyes,.. they're workin' again),.. especially with the abundance of talent scheduled... One thing is for sure, the FOMS will be off the chart this year... Unless she plays early in the day I will be movin' after a few tastes,... can't see myself gettin' as mellow as her new stuff sounds if she comes on later in the day...

Time to learn something... I have to admit I don't know who her daddy is... Quincy Jones???...

I do lay claim to pickin' her out way before she gained fame... I sampled her cd in the Towerstore in New Orleans,.. was lured by her looks on the cover,.. and fell for that voice in an instant... It was many months before she became a name... Any of you want to gain stardom,.. send me your cd,.. I'll give it a listen... Hey it happened once... :rolleyes:

Her dad is Ravi Shankar.

[PaulC]

Her dad is Ravi Shankar.

Thanx... well that would be cool if he came on stage with her...

My guess went by name...

Why the big letters???.. made mention just a lil' earlier that my eyes were workin' again...
