    Oh, yes, Thank you Iris L for putting this in - Sunday Nov 28 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on CBS

     There was a back-story and a small teaser clip of this on Sunday Morning show.  If you like Tony Bennett at all, this looks to be amazing!  (i actually thought i had missed it)

    The specialist they had on afterwards, said that he was able to do this because he has been entertaining for so long, that this part of him is ingrained in a different part of his brain than what is affected now.

    There is a very nice article about what Lady Gaga says about Tony Bennett in an interview.  I am unable to copy it on my smartphone.  You can do a search for the headline "Lady Gaga heartbroken over Bennett's health".  It's in a lot of media.

    A brief statement fom the article:  "Gaga spoke how music can sometimes help people with Alzheimer's or dementia.  'If you are with that person that you love, play some music from their childhood and I promise you that they will come to life in a way that is not expected'."

    Tony Bennett sounds amazing for 95, and best of all you could tell he was really enjoying himself despite his mind not being 100%. Really a moving performance.
