From the amazingly lovely and much more gorgeous tropical and mighty Amazon River, we are cruising and working on events, the summer season and “The Legend of Tony Mart“, the long overdue book about our Dad about whom we all speak in such larger than life terms, even though he was our Father.

There was a launch of a rocket in French Guiana which delayed our travels to Devil’s Island.

Much more ignorant, our dock was bumped in Santarem, where the cargo ships with soy beans took precedence over the Holland America Volemdam and the ship to be forced to use tenders.

Nonetheless, we have had a great cruise so far and look forward to resigning detail about the European style capital of the navigable Amazon, Manaus where we will see the rainforest and the European architecture with a distinctly Brazilian flair.

The Amazon is not a river, but 600 miles of many rivers, rainforest and natural oddities called “the meeting of the waters,” where salty tan water meets aquamarine water and deep blue water from the mountain streams.

It is at these confluences and parallels that the pink dolphins can be seen.

We have been fortunate to be able to record several interviews for the radio show this Saturday, 6 December when we will actually be off a small gorgeous Caribbean beach, which will not accommodate the scooter!

One of the most significant developments in 2025 is the growth of Tony Mart Cares in the not for profit corporation that has produced the Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point for the first time in 2025.

We will be hosting one of our directors of that organization, “Old School“ Jimmy, Glenn, who also is musical director and original percussionist in the Tony Mart Allstars.

We will talk about the growth of the nonprofit and the funding that we are receiving from several sources in order to be prepared for the 2026 season of Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point which we are now proposing and requesting to produce starting June 12 through September 11, 2026.

Our organization has also offered to provide both technical production and entertainment for the July 3rd and 4th Celebration of America‘s 250th Birthday.

There are other events in the works and we want everyone to reach out to Tonymartpresents@gmail.com and let us know if they would like wristbands for seating at the kickoff “Triple Tribute Concert“ at Josie Kelly’s Friday, January 9, 2026.

For the holidays, we are delighted to have the wine goddess, Julia Stacey Reilly, whom you can check out at Boozylifestyle.com or send her an email directly at staceyj100@hotmail.com.

Julia has been working with Chester Malloy and bringing it all together with diverse and fabulous dazzling gift ideas for the gift baskets. Remember that you can call Circle Liquor at 609-927-6422 and order any kind of custom basket you would like. The entire management of Circle Liquor gets into the gift basket party big time. From Jeanette Giemza, The First Lady, Chester Malloy, The Winemaster, Jordan, The Craft Beer Guy who is now The Bourbon Guy and Whiskey Guy too; all the way to so many great people like Stephanie, Vicki, Tim and of course JM The Big Guy!

Jordan has four or five world class bourbons, rye whiskey and also the special Old Forrester Barrel Proof Bourbon Bottle, especially for the Circle Liquor Store and its patrons.

Julia and Chet have the world’s greatest wines to package right in the basket along with these centerpieces. There is the Rich Quilt Cabernet, the Chardonnay and famous blend, Soul of the Lion from Daou.

A top-of-the-line, consistent selection of Paso Robles wines from Justin are also featured as well as the Cabernet from Orange Swift, The Prisoner, their famous blend, and a nice spicy red Zinfandel for the holidays, Saldo.

You can call the Circle, you can email the wine goddess, you can email us at TonyMartpresents@gmail.com.

Circle Liquor store is the fun place to create all your parties and holiday dinners.

Don’t forget the hundreds of autumn and winter brews that Jordan will recommend and the lighter cocktails in the can and an amazing array of cocktail seltzer.

We wish you a good time from the Amazon Basin and we look forward to seeing you in Somers Point on January 9.

Next week we will talk about one of the most amazing cities in the world right in the heart of the Amazon, Manau.

Until then, Let the Good Times Roll!
