Harry Connick Jr. - Ravinia

Fun night hearing Harry Connick Jr and band once I got there. My 3 1/2 hr drive ended up 5 1/2 hours. I shut my car off on 94. It was like 100 or something! Couldn’t get the pizza I wanted.
It was great to see Neal and Nathaniel!
I met Neal through Wess Anderson when he played at Dizzy’s with Tain and Marc Cary. Wess and I, loved one of Neal’s tunes called Corporate Jazz! I was blessed to be able to record it with Neal for my second cd Jubilee! Truly an honor for me and was great to hear him again with Harry!
I met Nathaniel when he was in HS and have been a fan since! He sounded great as always and it’s so fun to watch his continued development which already was at a high level! He has always been very kind to me and am so happy to see all the great things that have come and will continue to come his way! He is playing a prestigious lead trumpet chair with Harry! He will be a senior at Julliard next year!
Concert was great and a worship session broke out when Harry did How Great Thou Art!
I first met Harry in 1988 and he was 20 years old! He was opening for comedian Steven Wright. I’m looking forward to his new book and music coming out which is a touching tribute to his Mom who he lost when Harry was 13 years old!
I won’t be home until well after 3 am but well worth it! Also, this wildfire smoke is no joke already! visibility starting to get bad and I’m already coughing!
