Spend any time with me and you’ll quickly learn that I love Harry Connick jr. Maybe it was all those year’s listening to jazz wafting out of my grandpa’s bedroom door, or maybe it’s the depth of the music itself – whatever it the reason, I have been hooked on Harry since his “Blue Light Red Light” cd came out. Give me songs he’s composed (take “Jill” for example, an early favourite) or just songs he sings (“A Wink and a Smile” tops the list) and I’m a happy girl.
As Chris said, I was VERY excited about the concert last Saturday. You’ve already read some of the highlights (set, intro, etc.) and I’m not sure I can add much more to really capture what it’s like to watch him play. I guess it’s like watching anyone do something they love…you can’t help but get caught up in their passion. Harry is no exception. Great piano player, wonderfully smooth voice, and he’s even funny!
What really made the night special was sharing the experience with my sweetie, and having him like it too – a lot. Now instead of me telling him how great Harry is live, we can remember the experience together.
