I have been a Harry Connick Jr. fan since high school, which is saying something because I am fast approaching my 20 year reunion.  When his “Your Songs” cd came out, I knew I had to have it.  This is the CD that I have been waiting for Harry to make and he didn’t disappoint me!

If you’re a Harry Connick Jr. fan, you’re going to want this CD. It has made my dinner cooking time much more enjoyable!

There is quite a bit of talk these days in the media about meditation and spiritual enlightenment. Some might even think it is a rather trendy thing to “be into,” yet it is doubtful that it will be one of those passing fads of the pop culture.
