Nice piece, gave me a smile. My Dad and Tony got office space together when he started his music biz PR firm. Tony’s sister Mary oversaw the books for my Dad’s firm and would watch over me as a toddler in office (that was day care). Grew up on listening to his voice too (in person and on records), you story really resonated. Cheers.

Tony has always been one of the best. A man who has truly mastered his craft and knows how to sing AND has something to say. Went to see him in Pittsburgh several years back and the experience is right up there with my visits to Joan Baez and Pete Seeger performances. A true treasure!

"I Left my Heart in San Francisco" and "I Wanna Be Around..."by Tony Bennett have become part of my DNA. I can't imagine Tony living anywhere in the universe but in our hearts.
