It was love at first hear and sight with the song and the man who sang it. Many years later I saw Tony Bennett in concert for the first time in 2007 at The Royal Albert Hall in London. I had tears streaming down my face when he started the song. For me it was a dream come true, hearing this great song by the legend who made it famous.<\/p>\n<p>Those lyrics are everything San Francisco is about, and I called it my second home.
