Story
Harry Connick, Jr transforms tunes from classic childhood films into big band songs. He has said about the album, that "It’s a fun record, but it’s definitely for adults".
Connick, in a 2003 interview, gives a comparison between getting children to appreciate music, with getting them to appreciate broccoli. "If you give a kid fast food every day, that’s all they’ll be open to," explains Connick. "If you give them broccoli, they may not like it, but they’ll know it is out there and be open to it. You have to expose kids to music – jazz, classical music, rock and roll – and they’ll be open."

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“This story is no good, I’m almost beginning to believe it.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“If I were just curious, it would be very hard to say to someone, “I want to come to your house and have you talk to me and tell me the story of your life.” I mean people are going to say, “You’re crazy.” Plus they’re going to keep mighty guarded. But the camera is a kind of license. A lot of people, they want to be paid that much attention and that’s a reasonable kind of attention to be paid.”
—Diane Arbus (1923–1971)
“A story of particular facts is a mirror which obscures and distorts that which should be beautiful; poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which it distorts.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
