There are two WFUV shows that I know of, both of which are worth a listen. She was on Rita Houston's show in March of this year and there is a more extensive show with Vin Scelsa from September, 2001. Both are in the WFUV audio archives. I love Norah because she has so much potential. She's just 23, recorded a lot of the songs when she was 21 and 22 and really, she's only just begun. I've seen her a couple of times and while it's clear that she has a lot to learn, she also has the "it" factor that will separate her from others of her generation. Hopefully she and her advisors will resist the pull of the hype machine and allow the organic growth of her music and performance. I think it will be a journey worth following.
