Tony Bennett can still belt out a tune

When my husband offered me a choice between attending a Tony Bennett concert and hearing Chris Botti, I had to go with the old guy. I’d never seen him perform live and have listened to his music for so long plus I feared it might be my last opportunity to hear him!
And I have to tell you, Mr. Bennett did not disappoint. His voice, his charm, and his joy made the entire evening so lovely and perfect. I found that during his first number, I was actually crying from the surprise and pleasure of how strong his voice continues to be! (He’s 89 and holding!) You may ask how I came to be such a fan of Tony’s because I am not the generation that grew up with his voice coming from the radio. However, I married a very romantic guy who loves all genres of music and especially the big band era. In fact, “our song” is “The Way You Look Tonight,” and although I think Ole Blue Eyes sings it best, I still love to hear Tony’s rendition.

I think that romance is still important today—maybe especially today. And I also recognize how difficult it is to carve out time for romance with your honey. But it doesn’t have to be a Tony Bennett concert to inspire a sweet slow down in your life. Why not get a sitter for the kids on a Wednesday night, pop in a pot pie for their dinner and sneak out with your sweetie to the pizza joint for a quiet dinner? Or once the kids have gone to bed (or if the kids have already left the nest!) turn off the TV, turn on some music, and do a little shuffle in the kitchen or family room with your arms around each other. Just a thought. Just a suggestion. Spark a little romance.
