Tony Bennett gives me great encouragement about growing old. He doesn'the try to look younger than he is; he just brings his decades-aged talents to a decades-old song and makes it a rare treat from Grampa. Beautiful. I want to do this kind of thing as I age and to help others "Look for the Silver Lining" just as he does.
