Dear Readers of The Year of Tony Bennett,

The blog just made its first contribution to Exploring the Arts, the foundation created by Tony Bennett and Susan Benedetto.  The blog will contribute to ETA each quarter in the name of The Year of Tony Bennett and its followers.

By reading and subscribing to the blog, you are helping support arts education. As school systems all over the United States are being forced to cut their budgets, arts programs are often the first programs to go. If you can, consider supporting the arts in your community.  I know that I benefited greatly from music programs when I attended public schools. I chose the clarinet and would not trade my years of playing in school bands for anything.

Thank you readers!
