2008 – While in Europe, Tony was invited to meet François Vals at his home in Provence, France. It was a delightful meeting with the Chevalier entourage. François Vals encouraged Tony to try on one of Maurice Chevalier’s own straw hats. Alas, the hat was too small for Tony’s head!
Back in the states, Tony resumed performances of Chevalier—Maurice & Me at the Ocean Walk Resort in Daytona Beach, Florida; Savannah Center at The Villages, Florida; Bankhead Theater in Livermore, California; and at The Sheldon Concert Hall in Saint Louis, Missouri.
