What wonderful memories my family has of Tony. Our son took guitar and saxophone lessons from him at Dayton Band in the early '90s. He was a wonderful teacher and our son admired him greatly. We saw a couple of shows at Gilly's and had a wonderful time. Afterward, he came to our house for my homemade lasagna. Those were late evenings as he and my husband started listening to music until the wee hours. Thank you Tony for the positive impact you have made on so many musicians. Condolences to Tony's family.
