johncomicnorah jones's cd came out about a year ago, and i picked it up shortly thereafter. i read something about her online, listened to clips, liked her voice, Q.E.D. now, at that time, i was the only one i knew of round here who had heard of her, so i found myself in the familiar position of liking someone obscure. usually when i am the first person to get into a musical artist, i end up being damb near the only one, and said artist is doomed to oblivion...
then months later, i noticed her name being mentioned once in a while in mainstream media. then sharon asked me if i had ever heard of her. [i guess she forgot that i tried to hip her to norah way back when -- she doesnt always pay attention to my music rantings] then i started to hear her on the radio.
and now, this grammy sweep.
this feels so strange. i never thought in a zillion years that this would happen. i mean, how could it? she was "my" discovery! i mean, it's not like she doesn't deserve to win... more like it always seemed to me that "deserving" simply never had any connection to winning a grammy. i mean...
this is weird. i dunno what to do...
... except, of course, say: "Huh."
