My husband and I sipped wine with Tony Bennett into the late-night hours.

Okay, maybe not exactly, but we had a piece of his birthday cake. Or perhaps I imagined eating a piece!

Alright, we enjoyed an outdoor concert not far from our home over eight years ago. We were in a state of awe the entire evening. Before we knew it, we polished off two bottles of wine!

He sang a duet with his daughter, Antonia. It was his eighty-seventh birthday. He is now ninety-five years old.

Won’t you please enjoy their duet:

Something else that awes me about Tony is his love for painting. He says he must sing and paint every day. How’s that for passion?

I will forever be in awe of Tony Bennett. Isn’t he an inspiration to us all? Live your life passionately, for it can be over in a blink of an eye. I love you, Tony!
