Barry was going to surprise his US and UK fans big time. First off he was releasing a new original material album on Tuesday August 11th. The album was called 2:00AM Paradise Café II. This was the sequel to his first jazz album 2:00AM Paradise Café which came out in 1984. Second of all next year during the summer of 2016 he was playing small outdoor sheds here in the US and over in the UK. This tour was being called the Paradise Café II Tour. Yes he knew he just finished his Brooklyn Blues tour in the US. But Barry was in the mood to tour. This tour would be his jazziest tour to date. He would be doing songs from his jazz albums 2:00AM Paradise Café, Singing With The Big Bands, New York State Of Mind, Something's Comin' Up and 2:00AM Paradise Café II. Barry knew Singing With The Big Bands wasn't exactly true jazz. But the songs on it sort of had a jazzy feel. Barry had already put together a list of twenty-six small outdoor sheds to play in the US. Now he just needed for find some over in the UK. Well he didn't have much luck finding outdoor venues in the UK. Just then Marc called. What's up? said Barry. Well said Marc. You've been invited to repeat your one night only concert at Blenheim Palace. This time Charles James Spencer Churchill the twelfth Duke of Marlboro has invited you to preform at Blenheim Palace. He looked back to when you played there the first time. That was Saturday August 27, 1983. Guess what August 27, 20156 falls on next
year. said Marc What day is it on next year? asked Barry. Saturday said Marc so it would be thirty-three years ago to the date when you played Blenheim Palace. That's sounds like we need to get that plan in motion said Barry. It will have to be an all day affaire that ends with my convert staring me at eight pm said Barry. So Barry went on the internet to book a flight for him and Marc to go over to England. Barry called Marc back and told him about their flight to London. Marc called the Duke back and told him Barry was up for doing Blenheim again thirty-three years to the date. Barry then went down stairs to find Carly. Carly was in their bedroom putting away laundry she had just done. Barry came up behind her and kissed her on the cheek. Ok what's up? asked Carly you sound so happy. Well Marc just called and said the twelfth Duke of Marlboro called and asked if I wanted to
play Blenheim Palace again. I said of course.
