Harry Connick, Sr - The Singing District Attorney


Me and my Sis with Harry Connick, Sr. in New Orleans - 1998
at Maxwell's Toulouse Cabaret on Toulouse Street in the French Quarter.

It was our first time in New Orleans and we were leisurely strolling through the French Quarter when we came upon Maxwell's and spied Harry in their singing.  We knew very little about Harry except that he was the father of Harry Junior and a jazz singer.  So we went in, sat down and had a drink.  We're not drinkers, but it was a special occasion and we didn't think it would be appropriate to sit at a table and not order something.  Harry did a few more numbers and we asked if we could have a picture taken with him.  He was such a gentleman, very gracious, and I think frankly that he was flattered by our request and happily obliged us.  

Here is a fascinating 2 part radio interview of Harry talking about his very interesting life and career on "The Paul Leslie Hour"
