New Orleans native Harry Connick Jr. is getting honors from Tulane University.
He is one of four people receiving honorary degrees from the school in May.
The musician and actor used his celebrity to draw attention to the rebuilding effort in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Connick co-founded the Musicians Village to help provide housing for musicians in the city.

I’m a big fan of HCJ, plus I wrote a paper on him in college where my professor then gave me a low grade because he felt he didn’t have enough credibility as a true jazz musician. That pissed me off. He’s a composer, arranger, pianist, and vocalist which is more than most artists today can say for themselves.
