The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

Yes. Except for the picture of the dog.

I had filed Norah Jones under "sentimental pop" for no reason, until I heard her performing a cover version of Johnny Cash's "Cry, Cry, Cry" where she played that exact Mustang. I gave her music a second chance and was surprised by my own misconception of what she does and what an artist she is. Her "Little Broken Hearts" album has some very sweet guitar melodies, too.

...Little Broken Hearts was a nice departure for her, and I think she needed to shake things up to get out of the rut she had kind of gotten into. Personally, I think she’s a powerhouse. If you haven’t already checked them out, her side project, The Little Willies, is pretty fun — and Jim Campilongo is all over those albums.

NJ + Jim Campilongo is such a winning combo.

I grew up on Norah Jones DVD's! My dad is a big fan. I think after listening to her records so much I got "numb" :D

I love her album "The Fall", though
