So I have Tuck & Patti, Diana Krall, Norah Jones...then I have my old favorites that come out of that era a little more, I'm more inclined to the more melodic sounds of Simon and James Taylor, but I also have some Stones on there, the classics, some Beatles songs...I have a daughter in music, she's the vice-president of brands and marketing at Warner's, so she's kind of my guide now. And I've got my 50s jazz — I've got Chet Baker and there's a wonderful jazz guitarist by the name of Jim Hall who I've known a long time... and the way I got to know Diana Krall is that she was a protégé of on of my favorite jazz pianists by the name of Jimmy Rolls.

Tom Brokaw - nice taste! Tuck and Patti and Diana mentioned side-by-side - I think Tom and I could hang out together
I first heard Tuck and Patti when they played at a friend's wedding in the early 80s. They were playing the local club scene in the Bay Area then, and I used to go hear them almost weekly in a little restaurant in Saratoga, CA, which is long gone. No tickets or anything - I usually just bought a carafe of wine. I've followed them since then, and I've seen them in concert too many times to count. They make it out to DC once or twice a year, either playing at Blues Alley or Birchmere. My current number of live Diana shows is a distant second to the times I've seen Tuck and Patti!
