Tony Bennett at Midland Theater

Just when I think I getting too old ... saw Tony Bennett last night at Midland theater, in Power and Light District of downtown Kansas City. Here's a man that's eighty years young, still has the the'chops' - never missed a beat the whole evening. Talk about an engaging guy with energy, and love for what he's doing - even after sixty years of doing it.

He does this in such an effortless way - truly amazing and totally enjoyable to watch. For an hour and half, he had the audience in the palm of his hand, as he ran through his portfolio of hits - all of them classics - mixed with stories of how he got started, things that occurred during his career - and giving tribute to his backup band, all of them 'A' list musicians, who've played with all the greats. The guys a master of entertainment and an inspiration.

What an evening!
