First, the Grammy's
I am melancholy today after watching the Grammy's last night. I realize I don't even remember who won the awards ~ with one exception, Adele, with her awesome story, came away with well deserved recognition. It was all of the performances, one after another, that simply put me under a spell! Famous to new performers - all varieties of music - they all were fabulous. Everyone.
Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Adele, Taylor Swift, Tony Bennett, The Beach Boys, Glen Campbell, Katy Perry, Chris Brown ... and so forth ... you get the picture. And, of the sad news of Whitney Houston, we need to remember life is fragile.
Next, I left my heart in San Francisco St. Valentine's Day Tribute
I know, this may be kind of corny, there is something special about this little town by the bay .... and Tony Bennett!
Today, I read an announcement of San Francisco's - to honor Tony Bennett in a a tribute of the 50th Anniversary of the song, "I left my heart in San Francisco". And, he will be there to sing in person.
When: Noon, Tuesday, February 14, City Hall, Downtown San Francisco you will listen to a free Valentine's Day Treat.
Fabulous tribute.
Tony first sang the song in the Venetian Room at the Fairmont Hotel on Nob Hill in December of 1961, and Tony returns there on the evening of Valentine’s Day to sing at a sold-out benefit dinner and concert to raise money for heart research at UCSF. He recorded the song in 1962.
Yep, I used to (and still do) always play this song when taking my groups into San Francisco after the long ride north on the peninsula from south bay.
Of course, for those of you who are curious creatives ~ try entering the contest sponsored by San Francisco Travel Association. Good luck!
With hearts and smiles, Happy Valentine's Day from San Francisco! ~~ The Fun Tour Guru
