First Lady Michelle Obama and President Obama welcomed Harry Connick Jr. to the Whitehouse for their second Governors Ball on Sunday. According to the Whitehouse blog, Connick spent time with DC music students and performed. From the Whitehouse,
“At 3:00 PM EST today the First Lady will give a group of Washington, DC music students a special preview of the 2010 Governors’ Ball performance. Grammy Award Winning artist, Harry Connick Jr. will spend some time talking to students and will close out the event with a song, joined by a few residents from the New Orleans Musicians’ Village. The Musician’s Village was conceived by New Orleans native Harry Connick, Jr. in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to rebuild homes for many of New Orleans cherished but displaced artists, those who have defined the city’s culture and created the sounds that have shaped the musical vernacular of the world.”
