I have loved Tony since the yearly 70's, love is music and the man. I got to meet him at Sugar Creek Casino in Hinton Oklahoma and he is a wonderful sweet man.
I've been to Tony's show three times at Mohegan Sun, including the Finale show. It was everything that a going away party should be. Tony enjoys his moments but he also shines the light on others and makes them take a lot of time to enjoy a long moment of applause when they are done. Each show includes a thorough tribute to Veterans and he does not leave out those serving presently. He is a walking encyclopedia of music history, but the difference is that he was involved in so much of it and he encourages and brings young people to the stage to show that there is talent in every generation. I sincerely hope there is a quality recording that is going to be offered of the Finale because it was well over three hours of love given to and received from the audience. I'm grateful that I was able to be there.
