(257 posts)28. Tony Bennett history
What a great post, this may be a bit off topic, my alma mater is Washington State University. For several years we had a great basketball coach named Tony Bennett (and his dad) back in the Klay Thompson years. He would have post game wrap ups at a restaurant at the entry to Pullman called the Hilltop. The reader board seen from the entry highway read "Tonight - Tony Bennett in the Lounge". I always thought that was great. And I will never forgive Virginia for stealing him away.

Saw Tony two years ago. Sounded great and truly enjoyed himself. The audience was very loving.
