Oh No! Groaned Barry

Oh No! Groaned Barry. As he checked out his fan clubs message board. There was two posts by Holly Davis with photos. This time it was from the shows at the Wang Center. The shows were Monday June first and Tuesday June second. Doesn't she have a life besides me? asked Barry.After reading the posts on the Barry Net message board Barry headed to Facebook. On the home page of Facebook he saw fans messages mentioning how many more days till they saw him. His regular fans never did that sort of stuff. But then since Brian Murphy canceled his entire One Last Time US tour. Barry was now getting a gobs of Brian Murphy's fans coming to his shows which he didn't mind. However these new fans were way more crazy then his regular fan base. Brian Murphy was a pop recording artist while he was a Broadway songwriter and jazz recording artist.  Someone Barry knew told him the reason Brian Murphy canceled his entire tour was because of his hips. The person told Barry Brian Murphy had gone in for hip replacement surgery not the usual repair surgery to his hips that he's had before. Then why didn't Brian just tell his fans the truth about going in for the major hip replacement surgery said Barry. They would have understood if he told them about it thought.  Also there were fans bitching about the Saturday June 20th fan club members only concert at the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park. Why couldn't they go to this concert. Besides being a fan club member there was only one thousand eight hundred seats. One thousand seven hundred and seventy seats for fans. Plus thirty seats for BMFC staff and Barry's friends. Which it seems those fans who were bitching were fan club members who just didn't get lucky enough to get tickets. Barry knew everyone who signed up for the convention. He also took care of putting the other seven hundred and seventy fans names on the list for the June twentieth concert.  He knew which local fan clubs were participating in Fridays Local Fan Club Day. Lets see there was Stars In The Night BMLFC Boston MA, One Voice BMLFC from New York City/ Nassau NY, Riders To The Stars BMLFC Arlington VA,  The Kid Inside BMLFC Atlanta GA, Paradise Café BMLFC Jacksonville FL, Night Songs BMLFC Pittsburgh PA, Barry's Beagles BMLFC Detroit MI, We Need To Dream BMLFC Chicago Il,  Showstoppers BMLFC Milwaukee WI, Manilow Fans Forever and a Day BMLFC Denver CO, Brooklyn Blues BMLFC Dallas TX,  NYC Rhythm BMLFC Santa Fe NM, Shadow Man BMLFC Seattle WA, 15 Minutes BMLFC Los Angeles, He's A Star BMLFC San Diego CA, Could It Be Magic BMLFC London England, Sweet Life BMLFC Glasgow Scotland and Beautiful Music BMLFC Sydney Australia. Barry decided to ditch the word international in his fan clubs name. So instead of it being the Barry Manilow International Fan Club. It went back to being the Barry Manilow Fan Club like it was between 1978 and 1979. Barry also asked local  fan clubs to add an L in between the B and M. Like One Voice Barry Manilow Local Fan Club,  Stars In The Night Barry Manilow Local Fan Club and etc. Then there was the fan who said a few things about him that weren't exactly true. Yes Edna and Willie moved into the same building in Flatbush that he did. No his mother was not a lush. Yes she and Willie drank some not a lot.  He never worked at Mattel Toys. After leaving CBS Barry went on the road with Jeannie Lucas. When he and Jeannie broke up their act Barry worked all sorts of odd jobs. Vocal coaching for singers. Playing piano for people at their auditions.  Playing in piano bars around New York City. Musical director for CBS TV show called Callback. He got that job thanks to his girlfriend at the time Linda Allen. Conducting for Ed Sullivan productions. Playing piano at the Manhattan Improv and Continental Baths that's where he met Bette Midler. Also Barry didn't get his beagle Bagel till nineteen seventy-two at a Brooklyn pet store. The pet store got showcased on a Easter special on a local CBS TV program. Linda Allen who produced the half hour program took him to the pet store. That's how Barry got the runt of the littler that he named Bagel. Biscuit was Bagel's granddaughter. After the beagles Barry got his first Labrador Retriever named Casey. Casey came from the Lang Foundation animal shelter in Los Angeles. The other Labrador retriever were Pepper, Salt, Maggie and Max. Soon there would be two more dogs in his house. Two beagles named Charlie and Schroeder. Charlie and Schroeder belonged to his fiancée Carly.
