I like when she plays chords and grins like nobody in the world would be hitting these notes right now but me. I also like how sometime she channels Thelonious Monk and gets all moody with it.
Assisti uma vez você cantando essa música num dos seus shows. Com a banda. Nunca esqueci. Outros no RU-vid recortaram esse pedaço do show e exibem sua performance em seus próprios canais. Memorável. Sua voz e talento são muito agradaveis
Bessie was more than just a friend of mine We shared the good times and the bad Many years have since passed me by I still recall the best thing I ever had Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie Oh... To see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do Now all the crazy things I had to try Well I tried them all and then some If you look you one day you will find out Where it is that your really coming from Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie Oh... To see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do Now in my day I've made some foolish moves But back then I didn't worry about a thing Now and again I still wonder to myself Was it the sweet love, or the way that she could sing I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Oh... To see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do
If Nojo only played the piano, she would be called a great pianist, and if she only sang the music, she would be known as a great vocalist, but there is no adequate exact word for this savant who can do BOTH so well at the same time. Great is such an understatement.
Great song. I remember learning this from a Band bootleg in the early 70’s. It is wonderful that you resurrected it with a great rendition. It reminds me of old friends and great music.
Wow Norah! You've done it again with a stunning rendition of this hymn to Bessie by Robertson and Danko. These private and personal performances from you have been a huge silver lining to the damage and devastation of the COVID-19 virus. When all of the news is looking bleak, unremitting and depressing, I just come back to your channel and am uplifted by your musicianship and your beautiful, calm, no fuss presentations. You have given to all of us out in RU-vid land without measure or cost and you always bring your brightly shining light to an oftentimes dark world. Your shy smile at the end of each performance is so memorable. Thank you Nojo. Love you. 🥰❤️
This is so nostalgic to me in fact is almost Deja Vu as this reminds me of when Norah toured with "The Handsome Band" except for the piano riffs as a solo in the middle of the song that makes my experience more of a nostalgia then a Deja Vu. Thank you so much, Norah, her bands and All a Dream Team for this bliss. ❤🙌💥
Was just vibing to Queen Bee by Taj Mahal.. now this lovely nod to the original queen of blues, jazz and innuendo. May Bessie's beautiful spirit live on in ur and other extraordinary voices ☺
I’m aware of 3 people that have died from COVID. Two were relatives of my co-workers and one was a client of the agency I work for. I have NEVER known of a single person that has died of the flu. What you are suggesting is we’ve been lied to about the nature of these deaths. That businesses across the world have been hurt for nothing. We’re all turning our lives upside down for a hidden agenda of some elite kabal (instead of the obvious explanation of a pandemic). Do you believe there is a such thing as pandemics? Have you researched a variety of sources outside of the conspiracy theories you have clearly embraced? Are you open to the idea that this may, in fact, be a pandemic? I think you owe it to all of us who are grieving the loss of our family members and businesses to offer more than a flip “fake news” explanation for your position. Even if we are being misled, the way you express it is lazy and heartless.
I've been maddened about your frightening beautiful face, from the first time my eyes laid a hold of your great highness angelic sky cruiseing enlightening being.
Sitting here on this park bench, you're holding my hand. The sprinklers just turned off. I took of my shoes, you rolled up your sleeves, the grass is wet and smells so good. Ignore the signs, and dance with me, while grass is wet and we leave barefeet silhouettes when the music ends. Where did my shoes go?
Hello Nojo .. I see you have two sites now .. & I have subscribed to both .. ( by the way I don't really require any answer / or even a hello .. purely one way comments .. honestly ) Having made that clear I am in Lockdown & my wife & I are both in vulnerable categories health wise .. but I have always been a bit of a loner / recluse .. ( my wife is missing company more than I do ) .. But we live in a strange little part of England The Forest of Dean .. Supposedly where Tolkein used to take walking holidays & where he got the setting for the Shire where the Hobbits live .. very odd little corner .. with almost it's own little weather zone .. very poor wi fi & mobile phones don't work in a lot of places .. But yesterday I had a bit of a breakthru with my computer Tinkering & I was able to link small Mini new thing to my t.v. in my Bedroom .. & I spent a lovely afternoon discovering lots more old Norah stuff .. lot's I had never seen / heard B4 .. your version of Summertime .. ( audio 0nly ) had me in tears .. childhood memories of Porgy & Bess .. & I adored the video for Tradgedy .. with the girl roller blading .. ( my eyes aren't that gr8 ) I know it was you at the end shot .. but can you skate like that ? .. lol ... Anyway Lots of records you have made over the years I have never heard b4 .. at one time my wife & I lived in/ on a small farm in the Welsh mountains with six cats six ducks six chickens & two collie dogs & I had a studio in a chalet .. But I was a complete recluse then .. Moonlight walks to a magical Rowan tree by a well with the dogs & cats & more stars than ever .. But my spinal injuries .. meant a move & we landed here in the Forest .. since the Virus etc .. your music & lots of others Tedeschi Trucks Band .. is a big favourite .. & so many more I was born in the 50's & lived thru the 70's but not really a person who keeps up with Pop etc .. But I write every day ( pretensions towards being a novelist since my childhood ) & I love art photography .. Dance ... etc I only started learning key's not a real piano .. when I could not play guitar so well anymore .. arthritis etc .. & watching you up close recently has been like a free lesson .. I have taught myself how to play a 12 bar in 12 keys cycle of 5ths .. as a kind of way of developing .. but the stride style is beyond me so far .. Thank you so much for all the inspiration & all the joy that even the sad songs give .. it's lovely to know there are still real musicians out there .. have you heard of Tal Wilkenfeld .. a crazy talent .. lol .. But if you do read this keep well & stay safe you & yours .. & be happy .. Bye
