Tim McGraw and Anthony in New York City

 Anthony's Mom had a great idea.....let's go to NYC and see Tim McGraw perform on the Today Show.  While we are there, maybe we can reconnect with Tim and his management.  

So, we left home at 3:15 am and headed for the city.  As we were walking to the Today Show, one of the Today Show producers recognized Anthony from being on Ellen.  She gave us 4 fan passes which put us towards the front by the stage.  During Tim's sound check Anthony got on his Dad's shoulders holding a sign that said, "Hey Mr. McGraw, its me, Anthony, remember me?" 

Well, Tim did see the sign and he did remember Anthony.  Next Anthony's Mom gave one of Anthony's tee shirts to a security guard to give to Tim and he did.  Tim thanked Anthony from the stage and told the crowd that Anthony was an amazing singer.  Next thing we knew, security was taking us to the side of the stage because Tim wanted to see us.  As the band was playing an instrumental part of one of the songs, Tim came to the side of the stage and motioned for Anthony to come over to him.  After a short conversation, Tim invited Anthony up on the stage.  He introduced Anthony to the crowd and told his band that Anthony was going to sing a song.  Anthony at 6:30am without any warm up or even a glass of water, took the stage and belted out Carrie Underwood's version of Home Sweet Home.  

The crowd went crazy and afterward Tim took pictures with the whole family and signed autographs.  Tim also asked us to watch his concert from the VIP viewing area.  Tim then sent his manager, Jay McCarthy over to speak with all of us about the possibility of Red Line Management (Tim's management) making Anthony an offer to sign.  We are still in contact via phone, email and text messages.  We are hoping to come to an agreement soon.  

The moral of the story.....Always listen to your mother (and wife) when they say, "I have an idea..."
