Sad news of the passing of a highly influential musician. All things must pass, as George Harrison wisely said.

    Apparently, an apprenticeship to play a Sitar is 16 years!! and it still sounds awful.
    Ravi Crossed the divide and there's been no one since.

    Remember: "Land of twang, hope and ding glory, bing tang....SHUTUP"

    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Until today I didn't know that Norah Jones was his daughter.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    Well bugger me, there's something I didn't know (not that I needed to know that fact, but that's beside the point)

    She wanted to make it in the music business from her own merits and not because her dad is famous, she was asked about it in the live magazine a few years back. I don't think she spent much time with him though.
