Neu angekommen und was neues zum Lesen

Gestern Nachmittag habe ich eine weitere Amazon-Rate im Postkasterl gefunden: ein im Jänner bestelltes Buch. Hätte ich nicht die Versandbestätigung bekommen, hätte ich mich gar nicht mehr erinnern können. Gefreut habe ich mich aber trotzdem.

Außerdem werde ich heute Abend gleich mit dem neuen Buch von Tony Bennett beginnen, und ich bin schon sehr gespannt, was Tony uns erzählen möchte. Er bleibt auch einer meiner Lieblingssänger, und es war ein Erlebnis, in vor ein paar Jahren live auf der Bühne zu erleben.
 
Meine abendliche Lektüre:

Tony BENNETT
(with Scott SIMON)
Just Getting Started

Description: At ninety, musician and singer Tony Bennett is as vibrant and productive as ever. In addition to his prodigious musical output, including albums, concerts, and personal appearances, this beloved and enduring artist has written his second book. In 2012’s Life Is a Gift, Tony reflected on the lessons he has learned over the years. Now, in Just Getting Started, he pays homage to the remarkable people who inspired those lessons.
 
In his warm and inviting voice, Tony talks about who and what have enriched his own life, including Charlie Chaplin, Judy Garland, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Cole Porter, Amy Winehouse, Fred Astaire, Lady Gaga, members of his family, significant places, and more. Just Getting Started chronicles the relationship Tony has enjoyed with each one of these legends, entertainers, humanitarians, and loved ones, and reveals how the lessons and values they imparted have invaluably shaped his life.
 
As enchanting and unforgettable as his music, Just Getting Started is a beautiful compilation of reflections every Bennett fan will treasure, and a perfect introduction for those just getting to know this remarkable star and humanitarian.
