      Me again...can't help it...I had to come back and say...Norah Jones is way tooo incredible! She's the sweetest thing I've listened to in a long time. Where the heck have I been? She even came to my town way back in 2004 and I didn't even know it!

      Norah and her band know how to combine wonderful melodies and lyrics with a little goofy, cute, sad, hope, inspiration, romance, happy, beauty and cool emotions all in one album.

      Lately every chance I get I plop in "Not To Late". It seems to get better and better every time I listen. It's very different and refreshing music with a flair of an old style that I can't finger out but it just makes me feel so good inside...

      The short sweet and beautifully sung "wake me up" I can listen to over and over and again is a wonderful song w/ really cool lyrics and great lap steel from LA...this song is my personal favorite...puts a tear in my eye's.... along with the sad melody "wish i could", the sad but hopeful "not too late", the great guitar(s) in "the sun doesn't like you", the dreamy vocals in "not my friend", the cute and frisky "little room", the funny and insightful lyrics in "my dear country" (good piano) along with the sweet song "broken" (i wonder what inspired Norah to write this one?) with all her other great songs I'm learning to love.... Norah....you've touched this old boys heart!

      Just watched My Blueberry Nights on DVD and I must admit (surprisingly after reading the reviews) that I really liked it a lot. For never acting before Norah held the character pretty darn well. The story line was emotional and the ending was exactly what you wanted to happen at that point in her journey. I'm very surprised and a little annoyed that it did not get better reviews. Folks, don't pay attention to reviews!

      I discovered Norah Jones while watching the above interview (thank you Charlie Rose!) and since then while watching her videos and listening to her music I have become a fan of Norah's forever, not to mention catching a massive crush!:o I'll be bugging my friend who owns the Rochester Main Street Armory to book her for a concert someday.

      What a sincere and precious little talent...she will always be tops with me and anyone else who appreciates a down to earth, honest (cute) and real person behind the entertainer...

      Oops, I apologize for the double post...my computer did something weird, and I thought my first attempt didn't "take."

      I've loved Norah's music for years, seeing her in concert once, which was a very enjoyable experience. She's a very refreshing persona in an industry nauseatingly full of pop-tarts. I've not had the chance to see My Blueberry Nights yet but am told by the art theater in the city near me that they will have it in May...so I'm waiting patiently. Would also like to add, I love Charlie Rose interviews.

      Norah Jones continues to grow as an artist. Even outside of her comfort zone of the recording studio she excells in her creative and artistic ablities. Charlie Rose did a great job of interviewing this very humble and honest artist.......

      Bob Dylan mentioned her in a song. There *is* no greater reward.
