Singer and New Orleans native Harry Connick Jr. has always sung "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans", now it takes on an even more poignant meaning. I heard him singing it this morning and it just breaks your heart. If anyone saw Connick lifting and removing a skeletal old man from his porch you know that his heart is a big and strong as his N' Orleens accent. Connick is in good company when he sings this song, Billy Holiday and Louis Armstrong sang it as well.
Read recently, that Connick will appear in "The Pajama Game" on Broadway. Mmm, not sure how that broad accent I find so appealing, will be when he plays the role that John Raitt had many, many years ago. Raitt was Bonnie Raitts father. Absolutely, planning to see this show.
