Hey Google on Android does. Further confirms my opinion that Apple products are overpriced, overrated and overused.

Give Siri her due - she will play his songs if I ask for Ryland Cooder - probably only his mum and Siri who call him that... :wink:

Don't use it myself but most people use "Hey Siri" rather than "Flipin' Siri".

What are you saying... I got the result posted above for both "Ry Cooder" and "Who is Ry Cooder?"?

Who the heck is Ry Cooder?

Yes, I know I could Google or Wiki, but I honestly don't know that name, nor ever heard it ............. and I don't care either, so I won't bother.

You might enjoy some of his stuff I think.

I doubt it somehow.

I tend not to like "modern" music these days.
Nice bit of classic stuff is more up my street.

Fave at the moment is Shostakovich Waltz No 2.

I find it difficult to believe that a chap of your years who's travelled the world has not heard of Ry Cooder :roll:
I wonder who else you've never heard of :lol: :lol:
Willy Nelson?
Hank Williams?
Dean Martin?
Frank Sinatra?
Bob Dylan?
Elvis Presley?
Ella Fitzgerald?
Louis Armstrong?
Ed Sheeran?
:lol: :lol: :lol:
