The Year of Tony Bennett is Back Home

Our trip to the Monterey Jazz Festival and San Diego was so memorable and we had a wonderful time.

We heard some amazingly great music. In addition to the two Tony Bennett concerts, we also heard Bill Frisell, Jack DeJohnette playing with Pat Metheny, Trombone Shorty (we LOVED Trombone Shorty), and many other wonderful artists.

We also met many Tony Bennett fans and handed a lot cards about this site. To our new readers from Monterey and San Diego, welcome to The Year of Tony Bennett.  We sincerely hope that you’ll continue to follow us.

I’ll be posting reviews soon. Right now, I’m unpacking and doing laundry and return to my day job tomorrow.

It was an amazing musical experience that we will always remember.  People who love the music of Tony Bennett are the greatest people in the world and meeting so many of them was a joy and a privilege.

The Year of Tony Bennett Is Hitting The Road

Just want to let all of our readers know that your bloggers are hitting the road on Thursday for a huge Tony Bennett and jazz weekend.

Our first stop is the Monterey Jazz Festival. We’ll be there Friday night and all day Saturday, culminating, of course, in Tony Bennett’s performance on the Jimmy Lyons stage at 10:50 p.m. We’ll be in the back, in Section 10. You’ll know us by our baseball caps … feel free to say hello. We’d love to meet you.

Our second stop is San Diego, California for Tony’s concert at Humphrey’s By The Bay on Sunday. We’ll be on the third row … again, please feel free to say hello. Just look for the two middle-aged women who will be very happy.

Pictures, reviews, and thoughts to follow.
