Applehead: Thursday Thirteen #4

I like Harry Connick Jr. I always have. I first heard him when I was in high school. I was in Florida on a missions trip after hurricane Andrew cleaning up after the mess. I heard Red Light Blue Light and it was all over after that. Here are my reasons why: I like his arrangements. He is versatile. He can sing, play piano, arrange, and conduct. I don't even know the guy. He's been playing piano since he was at least 9ish. He can act a little bit. Hope Floats, Memphis Belle, Copy Cat, Will and Grace just to name a few, and a new one coming out called p.s. I love you.

Here's is a list of my favorite songs. from what I heard so far...song then album it is from

You didn't Know Me When -Red light Blue Light
Just Kiss Me- Red light Blue Light
You Didn't know Me When-Red light Blue Light
What Are You Doing new Years Eve?- When My Heart Finds Christmas
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer- When My Heart Finds Christmas
Here comes the Big Parade- She ( The whole album is all funk, nice.)
Come By Me- Come By Me
Cry Me A River-Come By Me
Working In A Coal Mine- Oh My Nola
Yes We Can- Oh My Nola
Winter Wonderland -I don't know what album it is from, but you can listen and download it here
It Had To Be You- When Harry Met Sally
Luscious-Chanson du Vieux Carré (His Latest Album)

Susan Helene Gottfried said...: I've tried. I have! But Harry and I are not fated to be musical friends.

Regardless, I still acknowledge talent where it's due, and Harry's a talent.

Happy TT!; 12/26/2007 9:47 PM
