Tony Bennett is among my many musical heroes. I only hope I can continue to be an entertainer as long as he has, but I know in my heart this will not happen. To me, music is something that gets into your soul and never, ever leaves. The song's ending tells it all, and you can see and hear the enthusiasm in Tony's voice. He loves what he does, and for those of us that have been on stage for many years, we love every minute of every performance. When I stop having fun and loving being on stage, I'll walk away from this business and tell myself this was one Hell of a ride, cowboy. Thanks for the link, Gary

A beautiful song and a beautiful rendition ...
I have my own story about this song: I was playing weekends in this nice Italian Restaurant, set up between the bar and one of the dining rooms ... There were a number of 'regulars' each week including one couple who asked me for this song, as it was 'their' song' ... This was back when I was playing a technics kn1000 which did not read midi files, so using the sequencer, I spent a week creating a full arrangement - French Horn, Strings, I had it all ... I made a special dedication for them the following week, and they said they 'loved it' ... I played it for them each week after that for several months, and barely got a 'thank you' ... and no, they never gave me a tip either ... after a while I played it more for me than for them, as I liked the arrangement I had made ...
