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!

The Year of Tony Bennett is celebrating our seventh birthday.
The first post on this blog was made on June 10, 2012. A couple of days later, we posted Why The Year of Tony Bennett?
So here we are, seven years and 2,683 posts later. I’ve been doing a song of the day for almost all of that time, except during a couple of illnesses and a few vacations. Even after all this time, doing those songs each day remains a joy in my life.
We continue to get new fans, some of whom we’ve had the good fortune to meet in person, and share our love of the music of Tony Bennett everywhere we go.
So, join me in wishing the blog a happy birthday, by blowing out the virtual candles on the virtual birthday cake.
Thank you, Tony Bennett, for all of the art and music you share with us. All of your fans, including us, love you.
Your author is under the weather and won’t be able to blog for a while. With any luck, I’ll be back soon.
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.
