Kirk's Tony in Costa Mesa

Tony Fabulous and the Big Shots at Fairview Park in Costa Mesa Tuesday, July 8, 2003

Tony greets Big Shots fan, Jimmy as DA photographs..... Tony's shoes?	# 1 Fan, Debbie and friend, Nicky are ready....... [note: the infamous "Steve" sitting in the background]

Laurie and mom, Betty await Tony's appearance.	Herb and Corinne wait also.

While The Big Shots tune-up........ Tony fans that day included....Sandy, Corinne, Herb, DA, Nicky and Debbie. Marilyn, Christina, and Roger, Lisa and Christine, Stacy, Dave, Jan and Sarah, Chris, Jimmy and Gloria, Kim and her mom, Angie, Laurie and her mom, Betty, Clark, Margaret and friend, James, and finally KAT and Crazy John, as well as some of our old swing dance friends from the Birraporti days. [Hi, Geoff]

Roger Bayer and lovely daughters, Marilyn and Christina join a huge crowd.	The Big Shots start off the evening.

The front row in all it's glory..... It was like Woodstock......It was like a Pearl Jam concert..... It was like the Horseshoe without the walls...Well, ok, maybe at least one "Wall".
	And speaking of Walls.... here he is now.....
Penny belts out a Rosemary Clooney number, "Mambo Italiano"	The Biggest of the Big Shots, the man who put the FAB in Fabulous..........Mr. Tony Fabulous.



Tony gets a big smile from Corinne [who is cleverly using her new "wall-fan"]	...and from Stacy and DA [who is not looking at Tony, but is smiling toward ....Dave Eastly?]

"Hi, Steve."	Tony even draws some of the younger fans.
Following a brief intermission, Tony changes into his pink dinner jacket and plunges into the 2nd set.

Clark, the human spotlight! Shine on dude!
	Mama Fabulous would be proud of her little Anthony.

Kenny and Tony share the dimming light!	The next generation of Tony fans view their new American idol up close.

But he's still popular with the older crowd.	An unhappy Tony finishes the show on a sour note. I think it was a B flat?
Afterwards, fans joined Tony and the band at a party given by gracious host, Margaret at her nearby home. The food was wonderful, the company delightful and a good time was had by all. Thank you Margaret [for all your hard work], Fred [for the use of your home], Jim [the slaving over a hot oven], and Tony and the Big Shots for a wonderful evening.
