The most important thing this week

Never mind Electors and ice storms and last-minute holiday shopping. The most important thing this week happens tomorrow night, and it happens on NBC. Filmed months ago it has finally arrived: the Tony Bennett TV special celebrating his 90th birthday. ‘Bout time.

Yes, there will be songs from other artists on the show; this is what mute buttons are for. You’re going to see the man tomorrow night, 90 years young and doing it better than anyone in the business today. Sinatra himself said that about the man more than a half century ago.

Tonight: Redskins-Panthers. Tomorrow: Tony Bennett. Wednesday: a review of both. In the mean time, check out Tony’s just-released CD companion to his TV special, available now wherever music is streamed or sold.

Is music still sold?

Anyway, there are “guest” performers on the CD as well.

That’s what the skip button’s for.
