Tony Bennett

Anyone remember him? He was one of the greats, as Dad said.

My son is the Director of Photography for an interview that's being filmed with him in NY today. I told him if Nana or Mom-Mom were still alive, they might try to fit in his camera bags.

I was surprised to see that he's still touring:

He'll be 83 in August. Amazing! I'd like to know his secret.

He made a huuuuuge comeback about 10 years ago, singing and recording with younger singers like K.D. Lang and Elvis Costello, and others, so he's actually pretty current.

Yes, his son is responsible for keeping Tony current. His son is some kind of music manager. Tony teaming up with what would seem to be odd companions was actually a brilliant idea. Tony's secret? He never has to drive. Always a limosine, thus never having to face the traffic, which can really work your nerves! Have you seen his paintings? He is a fantastic watercolor artist. I once asked an artist friend why I never see his paintings, and she said that they are already museum quality in Europe.
