Doris Day Tony Bennett I Left My Heart in San Francisco

I don't really have a "Bucket List" but if I didn't this would be at the top! To see Tony Bennett!!! Live!!! In concert!! So my wonderful husband decided to track down where he would be and is taking my daughter, son, mother and myself to go see him.  We are super excited!!!  Scott and my son are looking forward to it, but not like us girls.  There is somewhat of a connection to my dad when I hear the crooner's music.  It turns me into a sentimental fool! I instantly think of my dad, my grandparents, and a way of life back then that was elegant, the type of entertainment they enjoyed. The mere thought of actually seeing Tony Bennett sing those songs can even produce a tear or two in the corners of my eyes.  It's just because of my dad.

I am super excited that my daughter is going be able to go as well as my mom.  My dad introduced me to classic movies and music when I was a teenager.  Turner Classic Movies was on quite a bit at my house when I was growing up.  I remember watching the movies with my dad, and it's probably why I feel the connection to my past thru the old music and movies.  I have now been watching classic movies and listening to the crooner's music with my daughter since she was 4.  She loves the fashion, the music, and the movies from the 30's, 40's, and 50's.  She gives Michael Buble the thumbs down on Pandora, because he just won't do.  It has to be the original crooners! It's just the rule.  Classic movies need to be the originals, remakes are very rarely accepted.  These are our rules and we live by them faithfully! :)

So this weekend should be a weekend to remember.  I'm not sure how old Tony Bennett is, but one woman said to me when I told her we were going to see him, "He's still around?!" Yes, he's still around and he's touring the globe and singing!!
