[joe ruffalo]

    Greetings to all!
Please share with others.
Last week, I had the pleasure to watch Matthew perform live at the Apollo Theater.
His parents are members in the New Jersey Parents of Blind Children.

I first met Matthew when he performed at The After The Holidays Party when he was eight or nine years old.
I have provided the message below as I received from his dad.
He was outstanding when I saw him last week and afterwatching the video, I have provided proof that he is outstanding and super!  A great talent.
Matthew, keep performing, keep putting smiles on our faces, keep providing the warmth you demonstrated on the show and with each performance.

We care. We share. We grow. We make a difference

                        I just wanted to express how thankful I am for all of the out pouring of love and support I have recieved for my performance during the Showtime at the Apollo special.  It has been so amazing!  The experience was like no other.  One I will never forget.  I am truly humbled to know that I touched and inspired so many people.
