SBS 0 #1 August 29, 2005 So, I am sitting in the American Airlines Club in San Francisco, and who is sitting across from me, Tony Bennett. I couldn't pass it up, so I walked over and said I just had to shake his hand. He obliged rather enthusiastically, so I asked if he would mind giving an autograph. By the time I got back with a piece of paper and a pen, he had one out himself, poised and ready. As I told him, there are celebrities and there are legends, and to see someone like him sitting across the way was pretty cool. What made it all the better was how incredibly friendly and gracious he was. Just wanted to share. -S_____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Rookie120 0 #2 August 29, 2005 Oh what a treat that must have been. I wish I could run into someone like that in the airport. I just hope he was a true gentleman and a nice guy to talk to. I love so much of his music.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tkhayes 154 #5 August 29, 2005 I sat next to him on a flight from Ottawa, ON to Chicago about 3 years ago - a real gentleman, he had a concert the night before in Ottawa and was more than happy to talk. TK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
