EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY....AND THESE ARE NO EXCEPTION!
This is an autographed video sleeve from Anton's "In The Groove" video. He sent this to me right around my birthday in November of 1994, and I have kept it in mint condition ever since. |
During one of Anton's promo tours last year to a MARS Music store in Albany
New York, I noticed in some of the photos on his website that he was signing
some very cool posters...so I asked him if I could possibly get one. He
emailed me back telling me what I needed to do, and a couple weeks later I
had my very own poster! It's very large...24x36, and I love showing it off
to everyone! |
I found this photo of Anton on the internet, and I really thought it was a rare photo, so I printed it out on my computer and sent it to Anton for an autograph. Just one of those pics of him that nobody gets to see really. |
 Awhile
back, it was reported on Anton's website that he is quite a fan of MAD
Magazine, and he was invited to visit the offices. There was a nice article
about his visit, and I sent my copy off to him and asked for him to say
something clever, since I would be putting it on my website... he wrote
"Marsha, Everyone should get a little "mad" now and then!" Yup! that's
written in true Anton-like wit! He also signed it.

 This
CD cover is one of my most favorite things that I have. In the summer of
2002, Anton did an interview with Drumradio in New York City. I emailed the
host, Rick Watts, and told him that I really thought Anton's CD, "Figments"
was very cool, so Rick read my email to Anton on the show. The next day,
Rick sent me a very long email telling me all about the interview, and also
about Anton's reaction. Rick said, "Anton's reaction to your email was a
very big smile, and he said he knew exactly who you are. He also told me in
the car going home that you are a big fan of his, so he knows who you are,
which I thought was nice. I mean, thousands of people must contact him every
day, he cannot possibly know all of his fans...he knew you!" Shortly after
that I got a CD of the show, and the cover is signed by Rick (not shown
yet) and by Anton. |
A letter from Paul Shaffer. I was about 16 at the time, and was learning to play the keyboards. It is a little known fact, but I also became interested playing the keyboards as a direct result of watching Paul play on Late Night with David Letterman. That is also true when it comes to drumming and Anton. |
 I
had a fan club back in the day for the World's Most Dangerous Band on the
NBC show. This is a note from Anton telling me about an upcoming album that
they did called "The World's Most Dangerous Party." What I really liked
about the album was that it sounded like a live party and there was a lot of
dialogue going on with Paul and some very special guests, along with the
great music. Too bad I wore the tape out, and I cannot find it online
anywhere. |
 This is a letter from Anton,
asking me and the fan club to write in to the show (at CBS) and ask to see
the band more. I do agree that the band still does not get the camera time
they did at NBC. I would like to see them involved in more comedy sketches
collectively. He also thanked me for buying the record. |
 My
priceless autographed photo of Anton, Paul, Will and Sid, from the
NBC show, Late Night with David Letterman.. Die-hard TV memorabilia
collectors have offered me a few thousand dollars for it, but I maintain
that it's not for sale.
So, you won't be finding this on Ebay anytime soon. |
 Yes, I know I already have
this photo on the home page of this website, however I just wanted to point
out that Anton has signed CD's for his fans (at their request) who order
one through antonfig.com. |
 Randy
Brecker, who is part of the all-star lineup on "Figments" I just thought
it would be cool to get his autograph too! You cannot see the signature
here, but I will try to rescan and repost ASAP. |
I will be adding more stuff very soon! |
