Pure Bliss with Harry Connick Jr.

When I heard Harry Connick Jr was performing at one of the Blissdom cocktail parties I couldn't believe it - I know the ladies that host the conference can make magic happen, but WOW! I wasn't sure what to expect, whether it would be similar to some smaller venue concerts I'd been to, but regardless I was looking forward to hearing his wonderful voice live. When the Saints played their way into the Superbowl the plans changed slightly - rather than canceling on us to play at the Superbowl, he rescheduled to Friday night. What a class act!

The concert was held in a nightclub at the Opryland Hotel, just a short walk from our hotel rooms. I dropped the baby at daycare and headed to the party. The club was plenty big for our crowd. We mingled for not quite an hour, and then the real show began. I was maybe eight feet from the stage, because I hadn't staked out a spot. It was a mini concert, with only four or five songs, but Harry talked to us for roughly the same amount of time that they played. I was impressed yet again as he talked about the strong women in his life and the importance of community.

After the concert the band stayed for pictures. I had a call from daycare that my daughter was letting the ladies know she was through with letting someone else watch her, so I hurried upstairs instead. I'd thoroughly enjoyed myself and had some pretty good pictures and videos to take home with me.
