Ladies and gentleman... Mr Tony Bennett!

What a fantastic weekend!  This past friday I was fortunate enough to attend a Tony Bennett concert in a small intimate venue.  It only got better when I was backstage after the show to meet the Legend himself and he was kind enough to sign my portrait of him.  Mr Bennett was kind, humble and very complimentary about my work and mentioned that he had seen more of my work and was very impressed...
Anthony Dominick Benedetto (born August 3, 1926), better known as Tony Bennett, is an Italian-American singer of popular music, standards, show tunes, and jazz. Bennett is also a serious and accomplished painter, having created works—under the name Anthony Benedetto—that are on permanent public display in several institutions. He is the founder of the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in New York City.
The evening was a very special one for me and something I will never forget!  Many thanks to Tony for his kindness... a True Class Act!
