RIP Mr Tony Bennett, the last of the crooners.
You will be sorely missed...
Oh, the good life, full of fun
Seems to be the ideal
Mm, the good life lets you hide
All the sadness you feel

The ideal
Our Dryopteris fern is other-worldly.
Ho hum. Back to work tomorrow, peeps, after a fortnight of indulgence - a glorious holiday in Spain, and a week developing the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers.
Tony Bennett sums it up, methinks...
Oh, the good life, full of fun
Seems to be the ideal
Mm, the good life lets you hide
All the sadness you feel
Sigh.

Happy birthday to my dear sister! [It hardly seems a year since we were all at her 50th birthday bash...]
Let's let fellow birthday boy Mr Tony Bennett take it from here:

Double celebration
In such esteemed company as P D James, John Landis, Terry Wogan, Martin Sheen, Steven Berkoff and Martha Stewart, it's my sister's birthday today.
It's also the 85th birthday of one Anthony Dominick Benedetto, better known as Tony Bennett.
The last of the great swingers, Mr Bennett shows no sign of stopping yet, with a second collection of duets with other (lesser) vocalists out now. This particular partnership, however, remains the standard by which all others are set...
Mr Bennett and Ms Lang - Moonglow:
Happy birthday Hils! And happy birthday Tony Bennett!

Nobody does it like...
Today would have been the 80th birthday of the fabulous composer, songwriter, and jazz pianist Cy Coleman.
In a career that spanned eight decades (from his debut as a child piano prodigy), Cy wrote dozens of songs and shows for some of the greats, including Lucille Ball, Frank Sinatra, Gwen Verdon, Shirley MacLaine and Tony Bennett. Among the standards Cy wrote were such wonderful songs as Witchcraft, The Best Is Yet To Come, Nobody Does It Like Me and Hey, Look Me Over.
But it was his partnership with the magnificent grande dame of American theatre Dorothy Fields that produced the masterpiece for which he is most remembered (and one of my favourite musicals ever) - Sweet Charity. Although he continued to write, produce and perform right up until his unexpected death in 2004, he could never quite match the eternal success of this classic!
Here are a few samples of the prodigious musical talent of Cy Coleman...
