Tony Bennett is cool.
Not only is he one of America's favorite crooners, now turned 80, he paints everyday and he is GOOD.

- Gary Rith is a full-time studio potter and also an instructor of pottery at Cornell University's Pot Shop. Gary started learning pottery in 1983. In 1985 he served as an apprentice to Dean White of Deansboro, NY and earned a bachelor's degree in art from Bennington College in 1987. He has been a full-time sculptor and potter since 1997. Gary started his business in New Hamspshire, where he was selected as a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen in 2004 and in 2005 was named one of New Hampshire's Emerging Ceramics Artists. He moved to the Ithaca, NY area in 2006, near where he grew up, and is happily making pots and sculpture in a purple house on Fall Creek. Gary likes to laugh, and his first goal is to have fun making pots.

I liked Dean Martin and I'm developing a taste for Frank Sinatra. I distinctly recall walking Toby (our previous dog) one night about 10 years ago and hearing early Sinatra blasting from a neighbour's living room. It was great! Then, I remembered that I was under 30 and Frankie is from Dad's generation. Eeeep!
Listen, Tony is cool, he is alive and working, and darnit, a fine painter. He is OLDER than my dad, but easy to appreciate. My dad is also a fine painter, but not everyone appreciates his singing.
I true renaissance guy. I love that! How did Tony come 'round to being hip again anyway?
Tony has done some work with younger muscians lately--I just got his 80th birthday cd--all duets, with people like The Dixie Chicks etc. Aside from skill, he just seems like a NICE guy, not slick or sleezy, smart too.

the world needs more crooners. There appears to be a new crop of them making the scene this past year. Now I'm not sure if it's just cause I am paying more attention or what. whatever the reason.. sing on!
I saw him live in concert 3 years ago. Smoooooth. Love him.
The duets, folks. Playing now for the second time tonight. Yowza!
