• Its not always about photography with me…

  

  Tony Bennett’s Birthday is coming up on August 3rd and he’s turning 82 years old. Its amazing how his voice is still so powerful and he still sounds great! I had the pleasure of meeting Tony, chauffeuring him and also driving him crazy back in the late 80′s when I had my Limousine service. What he didn’t know was that I was a huge fan and had to control myself and try to act professional around him at all times. He’s a wonderful gentleman but also a very private person.

  

  One thing I didn’t know about him was that another one of my very famous clients Bob Hope is the one who discovered him and is also the one who changed his name to Tony Bennett from his real name that was  Anthony Dominick Benedetto.

  If you ever get the chance to see him in person, in concert, its worth every penny. An amazing performer not to be missed and one of the last Legends in the music industry.
