The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

June 13, 2020 By Suzanne 2 Comments

We Are Eight

The Year of Tony Bennett is celebrating our eighth birthday! Our first post was made on June 10, 2012. It was soon followed by Why The Year of Tony Bennett?

The first song I wrote about was The Way You Look Tonight. This gradually morphed into the Song of the Day, which I have done most days since and still look forward to doing today.

We’re quite close to 3000 posts to this blog, and I plan to keep going for the very long term.

To quote Duke Ellington … I love you all madly!

Taking a Break

Hello Everyone,

I’m taking a break from posting until my hands are doing better. Hope to be back very soon.

Thanks,
Suzanne

Hello

Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I haven’t disappeared, but am going through what I shall call an “interesting” time.

I wound up being hospitalized last month with an infection. After that, I went to a rehab facility for physical therapy to regain my strength. The night before I was released, my apartment complex called to tell me that the ice maker in my refrigerator had sprung a leak and flooded my apartment! Luckily, I had good renter’s insurance and have been put up in a nice hotel. I also started a new job this week.

With all that’s going on, I’m just not quite up to blogging every day. I hope you understand. The apartment should be ready to move back into in about 2 or 3 weeks. I hope to back online in December, in time for our annual The Twelve Days of a Tony Bennett Christmas.

And to quote the great Duke Ellington: I love you all madly.

Taking a few days away

Dear readers,

I’m having some bad arthritis in my right shoulder, which makes it difficult to move my arm at all, which I kind of need in order to type. I’m going to take a few days off–send healing thoughts, please.

See you soon!
Suzanne
