         <title>Grammy Weekend roundup</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Harry's Grammy weekend started with headlining the Only in Louisiana Brunch on Saturday morning, January 30th at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in LA. 

A good review and many large photos of the event, put on the Louisiana Dept. of Economic Development, can be found at <a href="http://icecreamman.com/2010/02/only-in-louisiana-grammy-party-2010/">icecreamman.com</a>. 

<img src="http://icecreamman.com/wp-content/gallery/only-in-louisiana-2010/100130_only_in_louisiana_crash_mg_7918.jpg" width="500">
<blockquote>After Harry spoke about the village and music center he introduced his band for the day which consisted of the legendary NOLA drummer Bob French, his touring bassist Neal Caine, and Shamarr Allen on trumpet. Both Bob and Shamarr are currently living in the village and represent its benefits to both young and old. Everyone was having a good time and I bopped along with them. After getting warmed up they invited Trombone Shorty  onto the stage and he and Shamarr exchanged blows like they coulda been on the corner of Frenchman Street. Harry played along giving all the musicians their time to shine. He took a couple solos on the piano and added some vocals but this wasn't a one-man show. I think that's how things are done down south though, everyone gets their time and without everyone pitching in, New Orleans (and Louisiana to a greater extent) wouldn't be the most unique city in this country.</blockquote>


That evening, Harry and Jill attended Clive Davis' pre-Grammy Gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

         <title>Harry&apos;s busy week ahead</title>
         <description><![CDATA[From <a href="http://www.blissdomconference.com">blissdomconference.com</a>:
<em>Harry Connick, Jr. is a super-star and in high demand this week as he plays at Clive Davis' super-exclusive Grammy Party this weekend and was just offered to play at the Super Bowl where his hometown New Orleans Saints are playing.  Being a gentleman of his word, he didn't cancel on us but rather offered to move his appearance to Friday night instead.  We gladly accepted of course!!!</em>

To sum up:
Harry will be performing at Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy Gala in LA on Saturday, Jan. 30.
He is nominated for a Grammy Award on Sunday night, but as of this time we have no word if he is performing on the awards show or not.
Harry will perform/appear at the Blissdom Conference in Nashville, TN on Friday, Feb. 5.
He may be performing at the Super Bowl in some capacity, but for sure he will be in Miami rooting on the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Feb. 7. WHO DAT!]]></description>
