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:
“We bank over Boston. I am safe. I put on my hat.
I am almost someone going home. The story has ended.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Its idea of “production value” is spending a million dollars dressing up a story that any good writer would throw away. Its vision of the rewarding movie is a vehicle for some glamour-puss with two expressions and eighteen changes of costume, or for some male idol of the muddled millions with a permanent hangover, six worn-out acting tricks, the build of a lifeguard, and the mentality of a chicken-strangler.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“The child ... stands upon a place apart, a little spectator of the world, before whom men and women come and go, events fall out, years open their slow story and are noted or let go as his mood chances to serve them. The play touches him not. He but looks on, thinks his own thought, and turns away, not even expecting his cue to enter the plot and speak. He waits,—he knows not for what.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
