The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

November 12, 2019 By Suzanne 4 Comments

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

On The Move

Hello to everyone!

Your author is in the process of moving and will be going offline for about a week to pack, move and unpack. I’ll be back in about a week after I’ve had a chance to unpack the necessities.

See you soon! In the meantime, here’s an album to keep you in Tony Bennett songs until my return.

One of Tony’s best albums, released in 1986.

The Art Of Excellence

The Art Of Excellence, an album by Tony Bennett on Spotify

From Your Author’s Cubicle

While not tending to this blog, The Interactive Tony Bennett Discography, and two new sites that I’m working on (Seeking Ross Macdonald and The Jazz Songbook), your author works in a cubicle in a very ordinary office in a very ordinary suburb of the not-so-ordinary Portland, Oregon doing work that is both ordinary and quite interesting at times.

Lacking much in terms of decoration in said cubicle, I rather impulsively cut out the full-page ad in The New York Times last September for The Silver Lining: The Songs of Jerome Kern, and pinned to the fabric of a cubicle wall. About a week ago, I made my own personal addition and am proud to say that it’s still decorating my cubicle.

It’s not much, but it pays the hosting bills. Anyway, just a little peek at my day job.

A Note From The Author

Dear Readers,

I want to let you know that I’ve been ill and am recovering nicely. Even so, I’m not well enough to blog every day … other than planned vacations, this is the first time since I started this blog three years ago that I’ve missed the song of the day.

So, I will be taking some more time off from blogging. I can’t wait to get back in the saddle and return to blogging about Tony Bennett.

Thanks,
Suzanne
