Mon, Oct 4, 2021:  St. Louis, MO:  Saw a piece last night on “60 Minutes” about Tony Bennett.  He’s 95 now and has dementia. So sad. He gave a performance at Radio City back in August with Lady Gaga and performed beautifully. Probably his last performance.  I love his style. Mike and I went to see him at the Fox in St. Louis a few years ago. Met him back in 1987 when he was performing in Asheville, NC.  I lived just outside Asheville at the time.  I went to see him with a friend and bought one of his prints which he signed for me.  Hung out with him after the show in the cocktail lounge and we offered him a private tour of the area.  He declined of course. Told him Perry Como had a home in the area.    It was a fun night.

 

Taking Mike for his dental surgery this afternoon.  Will be glad when that’s behind him.
