Should you be in a bar with a pool table or in a pool hall when Nora Jones is playing your town,
and you spot a young woman who looks like Nora Jones with a cue in her hand? Uh, it very well could be her. When on the road, she often looks for a pool table to practice on. I've heard she's pretty good with a cue.

Thanks Billy...an old standard done very well. I enjoyed it.

Knew that. Genetic talent? Who knows. This was a special treat for my tired old ears...two excellent voices that blend perfectly. Knocked my socks off!

I did not know that! Thanks.

There is something about Nora's voice that takes my stress level down.

Nora...I believe they call it contralto? Hers is spot on beautiful. But the way the two voices blended together knocked my socks off...a perfect pairing during the duet parts, and just the right difference during the single parts. A song that created a joy in me that's difficult to describe.

Really, many thanks for posting.

(edit) Here's an old 60 minutes episode...be sure to watch at the 10 minutes mark. I hope she's improved her stroke since this was filmed. Kind of a Keith McCready sidearm stroke...usually picked up when young and too small to stroke in the textbook manner. A child barely able to see over the table.
