Thanks Trish! Give him a try, it took about 2 1/2 months, I emailed the request in early December!Sweet!
@Mike121When you send these emails/requests, do you try to flatter them first or just ask for their autograph?
I often wonder how tired of these kinds of requests some of these guys must get. I imagine it's a delight to read something like what you're talking about. I'd also imagine the fact that you only send to folks who you actually want, and have had some kind of personal experience with (be it in person or otherwise), probably increases your chances of getting a return. I have a feeling you probably brought a smile to Harry Connick Jr.'s face with that request. Mine wouldn't be nearly as interesting. When I was trying to learn piano I came across his online course and ended up using it quite a bit to help learn. When I saw this one my immediate reaction was that this would be a cool one to hang above my keyboard since he, albeit without his knowledge, did teach me a little bit about how to play it. My wife and I watch American Idol, too, so there's that as well.
I feel like I'd probably be the same way, as far as only requesting from guys I want. I'm not even that interested in cards of guys who I don't know, or am not a fan of, so I certainly wouldn't want to mail something to them to request their autograph. In fact, there are only a few guys who I could name off the top of my head who I'd want an autograph from. Harry Connick Jr. wouldn't have been one of those guys until I read this thread. I may request one at some point, but more likely I'll forget and it'll never happen. Ha!
Thanks for the reply, @KCLJ520!
