Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to

Hey @tony1954 

I guess my question would be "Why bother?"

If she doesn't do it for you, why not just move on to someone else?

I think you misunderstand my intentions. If I only listen to things I already know I like I won't grow or connect to other music.  Educating myself on how others appreciate art is important, and sometimes I find out new ways to listen to music and to listen for in music. 

It's like looking at Picasso.  At first it was meaningless, but then I learned about the history of art during the time of his first impressionism and now it means more to me.  I may not necessarily like it all, but I'm able to appreciate it and connect to it and other artists of the period.

I see.

Like learning how to appreciate scotch, malbec wines or cilantro.

Good luck with it and Happy Holidays.

jerryg123 you knocked one out of the park with that She and Him song for sure. There is another post about Diana Krall just above yours and he seems to agree but sadly I can not... I love her singing and her husband Elvis Costello not bad either sometimes but not in the same class as her.

@frankmc195 That is what makes the world so colorful. We all like what we like. 

Music is the thread that brings us together. 

Glad you liked She & Him.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Cheers. 

She and Him = M. Ward again :)
