I am a (big) fan of Sinatra and other singers of his ilk, but I never cared for Tony Bennett aside from a handful of recordings. Never cared for that raspy, plaintive voice. Even though he seems to be a leftist idiot, he has my sympathy for his condition.
I like and listen to Paul Williams, Dean Martin, and some Sinatra.
You nailed Tony Bennett and his voice. Not for me either.
Alzheimer’s and Dementia are harder on the caregiver, spouse, families, etc. My Mom suffered from a slow and progressive dementia for about 10 years starting at the age of 80. Before being killed by Governor Tom Wolfe, who NEVER properly tested employees at her nursing home, she could remember me and my two brothers because we visited her often. Strangely longer term things and events escaped her.
As for Tony, he will likely get the best care known on earth.
Rest assured he WAS a leftist lunatic.
