Mmm ... Harry Connick Jr.
I got to interview Harry Connick Jr. on the phone last week.
God, I love a man with a southern accent.
Anyway, he was swell. Very nice and polite and now I'm going to see him in concert tonight at the "Rabobank" Area. God. That's going to take a while to get used to saying. It's one of those words that just feels unnatural rolling off your tongue. It's not lyrical like French, Spanish or Italian. It's not abrupt and concise like English, German or Japanese. It, quite frankly, doesn't sound like anything. It's like someone took the harshness of German and married it up with some space age vernacular that ripped off Latin. Because the instant inclination of most Americans, I'd imagine, would be to say "Robobank" because that comes out of our mouths easier. If any linguists post to this blog, give me your insight on why I'm having such a hard time saying this corporate name right ...
Anyway, did I mention I love Harry Connick Jr. and I'm going to see him in concert tonight? It's gonna be great. If not, I still get to look at Harry and he's pretty. My favorite album is actually "Blue Light." The title track, "You Didn't Know Me When" and "Just Kiss Me" are my favorites.

Oh, he's so sexy & has that Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra smooooooth voice and sound. I love his music and he's not hard to watch in movies either or t.v. Jill's one lucky lady.
Now that's said, he's also a superb human being. Just watch how he's handles "Katrina" with love, grace and respect for his hometown and neighbors. He's not doing it for show, he truly feels this nightmare and the loss for all those affected by Katrina one way or the other. This is what makes him so special. As the south says "you don't forget where you came from" and he hasn't.!!!!
God Bless Harry, his family and all of New Orleans & yes, all those in Mississippi and Alabama who were affected also. God Bless U.S.A.
