As a part of writing this blog, I have a ritual on what is known as “concert nights.” Tony Bennett concert nights, that is. I keep an eye on Twitter and put up tweets from the concertgoers. (Check the Tour News tab if you haven’t checked this out yet.) A day or so after the concert, I do some google searches for the local papers and post links to reviews and articles about the concert.

The newspaper articles are always warm and positive about Mr. Bennett’s performances.

But John L. Smith of the Las Vegas Review-Journal wrote an article about the May 3 concert that is so genuine and personal that I really have to encourage all of you to read this.

You can read the article here.

I am so happy that Rose Meranto had such a wonderful evening.

And John L. Smith is one very fine writer.
