I have to say that I object to the first message referring to Harry Connick, Jr., as being "dead or at an advanced age." Despite what it says in The Onion about him dying in a piano fire, Harry Connick, Jr., is very much alive. Wikipedia, says he was born in 1967 nineteen years after I was born. Hey, JtS, I'm not all THAT old (and I hadn't realized that Connick was THAT young).

Michael Bublé was born in Canada in 1975. Hey, I've got kids his age. Maybe I'm older than I think. I listened to some of his recordings - "Mack the Knife" and "Cry Me a River," to be specific. They were good recordings, but he's no Bobby Darin or Julie London. I'd say he's on a secondary level, like Connick and perhaps not quite so good.
