Tony Bennett is a “tremendous editor” of his work, Danny Bennett says. “Every six months he goes through his recent work and keeps what he likes and destroys the rest. But he paints all the time: watercolors on the road, and then he comes back and turns them into oil paintings.”

Bennett knows the ropes. That's why he worries. He's spent his life chasing a dream that has, at times, turned nightmarish. There have been numbing road trips, broken homes, and tax troubles; drug problems, self-doubt, and rejection. In fact, if Danny, his son, hadn't resuscitated his father's career in the 1980s, there's no telling where Bennett might be todayprobably on the casino circuit, bouncing endlessly from Vegas to Atlantic City and back again.

After a near-fatal cocaine overdose in 1979, Bennett called his sons Danny and Dae for help. "Look, I'm lost here," he told them. "It seems like people don't want to hear the music I make."[5]
