    I am 75 and listened to her father all the time in the 60s; at the time, I would put on Ravi Shankar Tom Rush The Moody Blues Pink Floyd, and open all the windows. In early 2000s, I started listening to Nora; saw her in a small venue in California.

It was her and 15 big burly guys with beards living the high life. She took them all out for an insane dinner. She was as sweet and humble as she is in this video.

    “When I was younger, I was hot under the collar… I stopped wearing collars.” If I didn’t already love you, that statement would make me love you. I love you, Norah Jones.
    I also love you, Kevin Nealon. I’m freaking straight, so it’s a 1990s probably drunk “I love you, man!”Norah’s best work is her music. Your best work is this video. That’s saying a lot because it’s easy to believe that you’ve both lived a full life as people. The word “best” actually doesn’t even begin to describe my respect for your work on “Hiking With Kevin Nealon” and “SNL”.
    To say the word “best” when describing Norah is like saying “of course”. If I didn’t already love you, I’d love you after this - and you’re a great singer as well! You two sounded great together! Rock on, Kevin Nealon! One of my good buddies is also named Kevin🤘💪.
    As a musician comedian who is a brother of a musician comedian, this vid is a pilgrimage.
    One of the things which inspires me to use that particular word to describe this lightning strike inspiration is that a profession rock climber 🧗 described his particular spiritual vertical earth hiking journey as a pilgrimage.
    Norah and Kevin, you are ones who are in a practice of transcendence and ascendance.
    I love Ravi Shankar as well. I love this one CD I have on the Angel Records label where the exotic music structure of the particular Indian music is literally described right there in the audio recording. The music is divine.
    To sum it up, I appreciate the down-to-earth, relatable, lightheartedly serious/yet seriously lighthearted comedy quintessentially unique to the one and only living legend Kevin Nealon and the down-to-earth, relatable music. My brother was in a band. We both agree that most jazz musicians are probably nice, cool people in real life. Jazz lyrics tend to be introspective, very detailed and extremely caring about the human experience of existence - with a special attention to the appreciation of being humane and kind. Not that you only do jazz, Norah - you’re Norah Jones, so you can do anything your heart desires and it will sound as beautiful as the unique song of a Western Tanager before a Rocky Mountain dawn. Norah, you embody the human experience with such a natural, graceful style that really goes straight to the heart by working with extremely awesome musicians to help you create, record & perform music that helps you express some really cool parts of your actual soul. I am a huge fan of your albums, live performances and your podcast “Playing Along”.
