RIP Tony Bennet

If you've seen the Tony Bennett/Lady Gaga concert and special (60 Minutes IIRC) from a few years ago, you know how ingrained his musicianship was. JMO: Even if you never were a Tony Bennett fan and never got into Lady Gaga, the concert and documentation of their collaboration should resonate with people who do music.

One of my favorite concerts ever. He was in his late '60s or early '70s. The show was in a theater by O'Hare airport in Chicago. Fantastic acoustics. Tony was singing along with his combo. Short intermission. Tony and the combo returned, and as they started playing, the curtain behind them went up, revealing a full big band. Wowzers, that was great! Short intermission. Tony, the combo and the big band returned. As they started playing, the curtain behind the big band went up, revealing a full choir! Blown the "f" away! Superior live experience.

Damn, but he was great. RIP, Tony. You will never be forgotten.
