Wow, time flew by so fast with his show and the big band.
It was so nice to enjoy live music again. Harry even ended up stopping his show in search for working nail clippers from the audience. He also had a vintage upright piano and an organ to play with when he wasn't on his beautiful Steinway.
His songs were focussed on the New Orleans theme that he either learned growing up or people from New Orleans wrote the song. The stage was set as a cafe in the French Quarter with the ceiling fans and street lanterns.
I loved the show entirely and wished it would have kept going. Some of his songs included Hello, Dolly; Won't you Come Home Bill Bailey, and Jambalaya.
His message was strong with one of his songs - All These People - that he wrote especially for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. He had suggested that we visit New Orleans to bring the tourism back up, as that is the biggest concern still today.
It was such a great show!! I can't hardly wait until he comes back!!
