My fathers first tony piece was given to him when, one day my father was hanging out with Tony in his Santa Monica Blvd apartment when Tony started drawing a Troubadour type guy, holding a guitar(above). When he finished he gave to the artwork to my father. It was his first Tony Mafia and he still has it. It shines in our living room, reflecting all the beautiful memories that my dad has of Tony. This was a not a typical piece of Tony in his days on Santa Monica Blvd. It was airy with calm colors, unlike his typical vibrant ones. Later in life my father showed it to Tony, and Tony commented that he didn't ever remember using those blues in the painting in any of his early works.
