Tony Bennett's performance was much more than a "breath of fresh air". I can't sing his praises enough. He gave a performance of his life. He was so professional, smooth, personable and comfortable with himself and his audience. It was as Tony was in your family room entertaining you. His choice of music was superb! His singing is much superior than his earlier years. It is apparent that he enjoys singing and pleasing his audience. He has the confidence that his audience loves his singing. His ability to "hang on to long notes" easily is simply amazing. His rapport was "right on" with the audience. I have never enjoyed an evening like the one with Mr. Bennett!! He is definitely a class act. I could have listened to him "croon" all evening. The show was too short.
