This afternoon I was thinking about the next song of the day and decided to listen to the Radio Deluxe show that John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey recorded on the day that Tony Bennett died, July 21, 2023, called “The Late, Great Tony Bennett,” which aired on July 29, 2023.

John and Jessica were friends with Tony Bennett, and they often play his songs on their Radio Deluxe program, which listen to every week. If you aren’t already a listener, I recommend it highly.

This particular show is a real joy and the selection of songs recorded by Tony Bennett was perfectly chosen. Also, John and Jessica told some wonderful stories about Tony Bennett, which I think you might enjoy. So, in case you haven’t heard of this program, you can download it here.

John Pizzarelli posted this on Facebook the day that Tony Bennett died, and I think of it often.

Tony Bennett died on July 21, 2023, but I don’t have to believe it if I don’t want to.
