From: Harry Connick, Jr. FanSpace
Date: Aug 29, 2007 9:02 AMDear Branford:First, hope your birthday was great!Secondly, wanted to personally thank you for all of your continued work on the effort to rebuild down in New Orleans. I'm doing everything I can to spread the word and generate donations for the HFH MV from the FanSpace.And finally, the Musicians' Village has mentioned ALL OVER the country in newspaper articles lately!!! Very positive and uplifting stuff, my friend. If you want to read any of it, I have saved each article that mentions the MV in a blog on the HCJ FanSpace. Would love it if you'd let Harry know that your shared vision is reaching all corners of the US!!Peace, love, and blessings!~Heather @ HCJ FanSpace~Harry and Renée Zellweger are in talks to star in a new comedy called 'Chilled in Miami'.

I'd like to meet:
YOU! Anyone who loves Harry as much as I do...(if that's even possible!) Harry has such a wide fan base, people of all ages, (literally, at concerts you will see young children and folks in their 90's alike!)
Harry appeals to such a wide range of folks, both women and men (although "Something You Got", Harry, makes a lot of females quite giddy), people from every type of background, blue-collar workers who could be "Workin' in a Coal Mine" to Corporate Executives, all nationalities, races, colors, creeds, and religions. His music transcends barriers that otherwise would divide people and can bring together folks who would otherwise never give you the time of day.
If Harry has the kind of effect on you as he does on me, the "drop what you're doing and turn up the radio / TV because Harry's on!" effect, or if you simply like his music, then this page is for you!
