Amazon Echo is a hands-free speaker you control with your voice. Echo connects to the Alexa Voice Service to play music and provide information. (Amazon/TNS)

We were introduced at a party. 

Our first exchange was pretty innocuous. I was opening a bottle of wine and asked her to put on some music, maybe some John Pizzarelli? She recognized the name and made just the right choice (I Was a Little Too Lonely – a weird little bit of foreshadowing) and then kept the tunes going all day.
