Anthony Sets Youngest Singer Record at Carnegie Hall

View Photo Album of Carnegie Hall

The Youngest performer to grace the stage at Carnegie Hall?  That's what we were told. 

On February 1, 2008, at age 8, Anthony became the youngest performer to sing at Carnegie Hall. Carnegiehall

He was invited by former NBA standout, John Sparks.  The Whiteweld Foundation sponsored a "Dream Concert Series" with Motown's Four Tops and The Temptations.  The concert's proceeds went to benefit John Stark's Foundation. 

This foundation was established to assist high school seniors with their pursuit of a college education.  Anthony blew the doors off of the packed house with an amazing rendition of "God Bless America" to open the show. 

As Anthony walked off the stage, he was greeted by The Four Tops who were waiting in the wings.  They were all amazed by Johnstarksanthonygargiula_2 Anthony's voice and gave him high fives and hugs as he walked by.  After the Four Tops' set was completed, Anthony and his family were asked to come back stage for a photo op and autograph session with the Four Tops.  The "Tops" were very kind and spent a lot of time talking to Anthony and Louis.  Now it was time for The Temptations.  They were incredible on stage and put on a great show. 

Anthony and his family were invited to an after party at the Steinway House.  John Starks was there and so were the Temptations.  The boys got autographs and many great pictures. 

Again, fun was had by all and the experience of standing on the Carnegie Hall stage where some of the greatest people of all time stood from The Beatles and Frank Sinatra to Theodore Roosevelt, was yet another "opportunity of a lifetime" that Anthony has experienced at the ripe old age of 8 years old.

Anthony Meets Kellie Pickler Backstage in Albany NY!

Another dream comes true for Anthony.

Last night at the Times Union Center in Albany, NY, Anthony and our Kelliepickleranthonylouis family got to meet Kellie Pickler, one of Anthony's favorite Idol's - thanks to Ellen DeGeneres!

When Anthony appeared on The Ellen Show in December 2007, she gave him tickets and backstage passes for Anthony and his family to see Rascal Flatts and Kellie Pickler in concert.

So, before the concert  our family went to the Meet and Greet. Kellie was as sweet as she is beautiful. She told Anthony she watched him on The Ellen Show and had been looking forward to meeting him. And they exchanged Ellen stories as Kellie had just appeared on Ellen earlier this week.

Anthony and Louis posed for several pictures with Kellie and Anthony gave her his CD containing 
a song, Come Back to Me Now, he and Louis wrote for Kellie. She seemed very touched.

Definitely an evening Anthony will hold tight in his memories.
