LIKE CHRISTMAS EVERY SUNDAY MORNING: And yes, she takes requests...
In 2007 Norah appeared on Sesame
Street to introduce the letter Y. She changed the lyrics on her Don’t Know
Why song to Don’t Know Why Y
Didn’t Come. She obviously enjoyed the experience as she appeared again on the show last year.
So, it is perhaps no surprise that the 41-year-old keeps a big part of the child inside her, as well as a big part of Christmas in her heart, too.
Norah recently started what she hopes will be a family tradition — when, early one Sunday morning during the third week city, it happened to start snowing. “From then on, every Sunday, we’ve tried to make pancakes, put on Christmas music and sort of pretend it’s Christmas. It’s brought a lot of joy into this situation,” Norah told the New York Times last week.
“My kids are four and six. They understand that it’s just pretend, and that there’s no promise of presents — but we’ve really enjoyed it.
“And I love putting on Elvis’s Christmas, James Brown’s Christmas albums — you know, great Christmas music? It lasts about 45 minutes and then we move on with the rest of our day,” added Norah whose days of late, she said, have been spent planning live-streaming weekly “micro-sets” from her home.
She accompanies herself on guitar and piano while she sings originals and covers of songs like John D. Loudermilk’s Turn Me On and Joey by Concrete Blonde — and is happy to take requests.
