During our last visit to the capitol of Living 50s history, Bob was looking well – in fact he hadn’t aged a bit, holding fort in front of this great burger palace. The building, which appears all original, is looking good too. Still appreciate mostly men in their 60s and 70s see to call this place home for morning berkfast, when we fell lby.
Burbank is a hot bead for living history, with the oldl movie studios nearby. Note the Johnny Carson Park and streets named after the greats like Bob Hope Blvd… The Safarii Inn where we stayed has a nice sign with surfboard(?) in front, though I am told the place has been remodeled since its heydeys…. Sure beats staying at the Marriot and a lot cheaper , too.
begin_the_beguine_tony_martin It’s sure good to see someone like Tony Martin still singing – and singing well into his late 90s. After all, probably the closest in age still on the circuit is Tony Bennett, and he’s a baby still in his mid-80s. Martin was raised right in my hometown of Oakland, and attended St Mary’s College despite being Jewish. After taking on a non-ethnic -sounding name, Tony Martin, Hollywood beckoned him. Martin became one of the top singers and actors of his day. During the night we saw him at the Razz Room in San Francisco last year, Martin dropped many of those names of people he worked with during the 40s and 50s and beyond, like Sinatra and Crosby, though his long-time conductor had to frequently 
help with the actual names. But that’s ok, Martin sang well – and sang his familiar songs like ‘Begin the Beguine and ‘There’s No Tomorrow (same tune as Elvis Presley’s ‘It’s Now or Never,’ but recorded long before Presley, as he noted. After Martin’s long-time movie-star wife Cyd Charisse (above right, with Martin in younger days) passed a few years ago, Martin called up his agent and said he needed to get busy and renewed his career, to the fortune of old and new fans, like us. If you want to hear the last of a breed of powerful balladeers from the big band era, try to see Martin if you can, or at least listen to his music , like this one:
