ABSOLUTELY THE LAST GRAMMY NOTE (EVER):

Ravi Shankar's daughter makes splash in jazz world (Mary Pat Hyland, 10/07/02, Gannett News Service

Daughter of legendary sitar player Ravi Shankar, Norah Jones was born in New York City but soon moved with her mother to Grapevine, Texas. She displayed musical talent early, singing in the church choir at 5, starting piano lessons at 7 and studying alto saxophone in junior high school. Her musical influences include Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and Etta James.

The Wife got hooked on this disc early, but apparently Ms Jones was long estranged from her dad so it wasn't until yesterday with this story, -Ravi Shankar says he can’t take credit for Norah Jones, that we realized who he was. It's a big old strange world out there, eh?
