1980: First recital at Del Terzo's Recital Studio in Carnegie Hall.
When I was 16, I performed my first recital in Del Terzo studio Carnegie Hall. It was for family and friends. My grandfather was too ill to travel, but
the following year I was booked to sing in the recital hall and my
grandfather though very ill made it to the show. I was so nervous
because my grandfather was a great singer and I wanted him to be proud
of me. I still remember the day of his 75th birthday he was unable to
walk without assistance due to a stroke that left him paralyzed on his
side, but there was music and singing from some family musicians, and
with a little help from me and my father, three generations stood at the
microphone and sang. It wasn't too long before you knew who started
this road of music in both my father and myself. My grandfather sang
some beautiful Spanish songs that made us cry, and
then sang a powerful number that made me stop and wonder in awe at the
power in his voice. He was my first inspiration and I would love to have
him here today to see where his influence has taken me. ~Daniel

October 3 opening of Carnegie Hall's 111th season:
With the Berlin
Philharmonic, tribute to 9-11. The evening began with a perfect
gesture. Carnegie Hall invited Daniel Rodriguez, a police officer from
Patrol Borough Manhattan South, to open the concert by singing a solo
rendition of "God Bless America." Mr. Rodriguez received a hero's
welcome when he appeared onstage. As it happens, he also had a bright,
pleasant tenor voice that needed no microphone to carry well in the
hall. ~Anthony Tommasini

"It was amazing to be back at Carnegie hall, a place that has always meant success to me as a singer. I am sure that the music world has many wonderful venues that represent "the next level" for a musician, but for me it has always been Carnegie. From the first time I walked into the building at 16 and sang in one of the studios, I felt as though I had begun a journey that would guide my entire life. I was right, and last night I returned to the place where I took a step in the direction that I travel today. Thank you to all who have shared parts of this journey, my wife, my children, my family and my friends." Daniel
