Singer Tony Bennett in Concert

 Do you know this Lady...  She is the opening act for the singer, Tony Bennett


Singer Tony Bennett has been in the News lately for  his diagnosis of Alzheimers disease.  I saw him in concert the year after his diagnosis (2017, but kept secret by his family).  He was fabulous!! So very thankful I was there. Here was my previous post:

Mr Bennett put on his 38th appearance at Ravinia; and we we were there and saw him for the very first time. His 91st Bday (August 3rd) was the day before the show. Happy 🎂 Birthday, Tony!

He ran onto the stage at his introduction, giving me and the audience a very good first impression of what a 91-year-old can do. He wore his go-to white jacked coupled with dark pants. His appearance glowed under the spotlights.  He could still belt-out the songs and hit the high notes. Amazing!!!  What does he eat, and what is his exercise routine?  I insist that he write a book sharing his health secrets.

The only negative was that he did not sing "I Wanna Be Around" (thus, below is the link to the song on youTube).  He DID sing my very favorite: "The Shadow of Your Smile". Swoon.

Will we ever see  Mr Bennett again?  Only the Lord knows; but I said a prayer for Mr Tony's physical and spiritual health, in Jesus' name.

*Her name is Antonia, and Tony Bennett happens to be her Dad.  She's a pretty red-head with a good voice; and the full-length, tiered black dress that she wore was nice, IMO. 

So, he shows-off his kid's talent, and promotes her by letting her sing at his show. Nice.  How typical of a parent, LoL!








I am taking pics before the start of the sold-out show

"I Wanna Be Around"

"The Shadow of Your Smile"

And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. ( Isaiah 46 )
