An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett
Santa Claus found a few minutes to look up Tony Bennett on our Interactive Discography, still interested in the same song: “I’m Coming Virginia.” He first visited a few weeks ago.

Santa uses a Macintosh. Well, of course he does. And, Santa: I believe that Virginia knows you are coming.
The Year of Tony Bennett joins Tony Bennett and the rest of the world in mourning the loss of this great man who made our world a much better place. Godspeed, sir.
Tony Bennett and Susan Benedetto’s foundation, Exploring the Arts, is making a huge impact on arts students in East Los Angeles. Tony and Susan were featured on the local CBS station today when they visited one of the schools that ETA is supporting.
As someone who greatly benefited from an excellent public school arts education in music and theater and taught at an Arts Magnet School in Dallas Texas, I can state unequivocally that the work they are doing is beyond important for high school students. Please consider a making a donation to Exploring the Arts; every little bit helps.
Looks like Happy is looking forward to the celebration!
One of my favorite scenes from The Zen of Bennett was when Tony Bennett was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and spoke about the Rembrandt self portrait that hangs there.
When last week’s New Yorker magazine arrived, there was one cartoon that made me laugh so hard that I nearly fell off the sofa. And so I have to share.
