CBS Sunday Morning and ETC.

Barry Manilow was going to be on CBS News Sunday Morning on Sunday November twenty ninth. Tracy Smith was going to interview Barry Manilow from his home studio in Brooklyn Heights. Barry's interview would take place  prior to the air date. Barry  came from taking the dogs out. He went downstairs to Carly's computer room. He asked Carly if she was doing  any better now that what  had happened in August was over. Carly thanked Barry for asking about her. She told Barry she was feeling much better. Also that she wasn't going to let Scott Nevins  or anyone else bother her. Barry said that's good. Scott Nevins still has a restraining order on him so he can't come within one inch of either of us. Carly decided to call her parents to see what they had planed for Thanksgiving. Carly's mom answered the phone and  told her they were going up to La Jolla California. Your dad and I are going to visit our  grandson Sam. Sam and Kate just had twins. Oliver Matthew and  Elisa Nicole. Sam and Kate already have a five year old named Amelia Grace. Jill and Sam Sr. are also  going down there from Seattle Washington for Thanksgiving. Jonathan and his family are going to visit jis wife's parents in Houston Texas. Jonathan and his family lived in  Chicago Illinois. Jonathan and his wife Gwen have three children. Michael Jeffrey, Andre Nolan and Jillian Kate. After talking to her mom  Carly got off the phone. She went to find Barry. Well I talked to my mom and she and dad are going up to La Jolla California. My nephew Sam's wife just had twins so mom and dad want to see their new great grandkids. There's going to be a house full down at Sam Jr.'s. My parents, my sister, her husband, Sam Jr., Kate and the grandkids. I guess that just leaves you and me this year for thanksgiving said Carly.  Then since it's just me and you we aught to go somewhere said Barry. I do want to spend Christmas at home this year. I want to decorate a real Christmas tree. Put lights on our bushes in front of the house. Even though I'm a orthodox Jewish person I still enjoy the Christmas tree and exchanging gifts said Barry. I need to go into the storage room downstairs and look for the menorah. Then I need to get the correct colored candles to go in the menorah. Now where do you want to go? asked Carly.  Well I don't want to go to any beaches said Barry. I love to swim however I'm not a beach person any more. I use to lay out in the sun.  But I ended up with  a case of melanoma on my face. So now I quit laying outside to sun tan. Let me  figure out where to go said Barry. Barry went up to his office. Barry kind of had an idea where he wanted to go. He just need to see if he could book everything. Barry went online and was able to book everything. He came back downstairs and found Carly making lunch. Well I got everything booked said Barry. Ok said Carly so where did you decided to go? I decided on New Orleans said Barry. Something  about a line in the song Night Song made me think that's where we should go. "You dream of a train from New Orleans and deep in the music I hear her humming." I really enjoyed taking the train for our honeymoon in July said Barry. So I booked a sleeper on Amtrak's Crescent from New York to New Orleans. We'll leave New York on Monday November twenty third at one fifty pm. Get into New Orleans Tuesday November twenty fourth at seven thirty two pm. Stay Tuesday night thru Saturday night. Depart New Orleans Saturday  November twenty eighth at seven am. Then arrive back in New York on Sunday November twenty ninth at on Sunday November twenty ninth at one forty six pm. I booked a skyline king at the Q&C Hotel for five nights said Barry. The phone rang and Carly picked it up. Hello she said. Hi it's mom. I called to see what you and Barry were doing for thanksgiving. We're going to New Orleans. We're staying four days and five nights said Carly. Oh said Carly's mom. I just called to invite you two to La Jolla for thanksgiving. We'll be fine for thanksgiving by ourselves said Carly. You tell everyone out there that Barry and I send our love.  Enjoy your time with the grandkids said Carly. Oh we will said Carly's mom. You and Barry also have a safe trip said her mom. Carly said goodbye to her mom and then hung up the phone. Who was that? asked Barry. It was my mom she wanted to know if we wanted to come to La Jolla for thanksgiving. I told my mom we already made plans for thanksgiving. Mom said we needed this that after the summer we had.  She was talking about what happened this past August. She asked how we were getting there. I told her we were going on Amtrak's Crescent. Just then the phone rang again. Hello said Carly. Is Barry there? asked Suzanne. No he's not here said Carly.  He isn't there said Suzanne. Well actually no Barry's out of town. Why did you want to know? asked Carly. Well because I wanted to see if Barry wanted to come for thanksgiving said Suzanne. You have his cell phone number so why don't you call him and ask said Carly. Ok I'll do just that said Suzanne. Carly hung up with Suzanne. Now who was that? asked Barry.  Suzanne she wanted to know if you were home.  I told her you weren't here.  I said to her "You have his cell phone number you call him and ask." Ask me what asked Barry. Ask you about going out to Palm Springs to have thanksgiving at her house. You know she doesn't have my cell phone any more. She doesn't said Carly. No she does not. I switched cell phone carriers. When I got my new iPhone 6s Plus. I switched from AT&T to Verizon. Now I already put your cell phone number in my new iPhone. You did that said Carly. Yes I did said Barry. I did that last month. Well now your going to have to give me your number again said Carly. I was due for a new cell phone. I traded in my old iPhone 5 for an iPhone 6s . I got the space grey colored one. I didn't like the gold or the rose gold at all. My iPhone 5 was a silver one. I decided to get the space grey color instead. I also got an otter box cell phone cover that's blue and bright lime green. Barry gave Carly his cell phone number once again.

Craziness Averted On Facebook.

The latest craziness was averted on Facebook by both Carly and Vicki Smith. Carly found out who added Jackie Louis to the One Voice BMFC Facebook group. Carly gave that member a lecture. Telling her that only she and co-director Vicki Smith could add members to the group. Carly told the members that she and Vicki had been following Kate Naughton's rules from day one. Members had to belong to the BMIFC. Members had to live within one hundred miles of the director or directors of the club. The club had to support a local charity. Which they did they always had done. Their first charity was the North Shore Animal League. Then in two thousand three  they started supporting the Harmony Program from New York City as well. They also supported  Barry Manilow's charity the Manilow Music Project.  This year the fan club was raffling off a queen sized quilt and a few albums that had been autographed and some other stuff. Every year before Christmas the fan club took bags of dog food, toys and treats over to the North Shore Animal League. Carly went over to the fan clubs Facebook group to post some new information. Next week Barry Manilow goes into the studio to record Barry Manilow Putting It Together The Songs Of Stephen Sondheim. Which is due out on Tuesday March fifteen. Also on Tuesday March fifteenth Barry will be doing an album signing at Rough Trade Records Brooklyn. The album signing is between one pm and three thirty pm. That evening is the album debut at Carnegie Hall with the New York City Pops Orchestra Tickets go on sale next week Friday November twentieth at one pm eastern standard time.  If you go to the album signing the album will cost twenty five dollars. For the twenty five dollars you get to meet Barry Manilow, have him autograph your album and you get the CD free. For  members  that are going to the album debut at Carnegie Hall let us know. We want to get together before the album debut for dinner somewhere. Carly got off the computer to go make dinner for her and Barry. She went up stairs to start dinner. Carly had just put the manicotti in to the oven to cook. When she heard the front door open. Hello sunshine said Barry as he came walking into the kitchen. So how was your day? he asked. Fine. said Carly  The good news is we have a new baby giraffe at the zoo. He was born at nine am this morning. Since he's a male and we decided to name him Barry. Oh really said Barry. Yes said Carly. Barry's mother's  name is Esther. So we thought Barry was the perfect name for the little guy. Now we're just waiting on our next two new arrivals. Which should be in two weeks. That's when Bea  the gorilla should have her baby and Koko the kola bear should have her baby as well. Jeff's on gorilla duty and I'm on kola bear duty. So far it looks like Bea's is having a girl and Koko's having a boy. If Koko has a boy I promised Garry Kief we'd name him Garry. Marc already has an animal named after him. Two years ago Matilda the elephant had her son. Marc took part in our adopt a zoo animal. That's where you can adopt any zoo animal you want. Marc adopted Matilda's the elephants baby boy. He  gave him the name Marc. Garry heard about that and decided he wanted to take part in that. Once the baby is born we take their picture. Then we send you a photo of the animal you've adopted. Along with information on the baby animal you adopted. Remember you did that three years ago. When you adopted the female Adelie Penguin you named Marina. You named her Marina after Marina from the movie The Pebble And The Penguin. We just got a new male Adelie penguin named Hubie . Who knows maybe Marina and Hubie might become a couple. There are rocks in the Adelie penguins habitat. That's so the male penguin can give one to the female penguin. I made manicotti for
dinner along with an Italian salad. Earlier this year Vicki and I went to Pittsburgh to see you at the Benedum Center.  Before the show we went to Lidia's Pittsburgh an Italian restaurant in downtown Pittsburgh. Both Vicki and I had the manicotti for dinner that night. After that I went looking to see if Lidia Bastianich had the recipe in one of her cook books. I found out she did and I bought the cook book so I could make the recipe.  After dinner I need you to go with me so I can pick up my SUV. Mike Wong from Signature Auto Group  called me right after I got home to tell me my SUV was in. Oh yeah that's right you ordered your new SUV in September. I'm curious to see what kind of SUV you chose said Barry. Carly set the table so she and Barry could eat dinner. After dinner Carly put the leftovers in a container. She also put the dishes in the dishwasher. While she did those things Barry let the dogs out and picked up after them. Once he came in he asked Carly if she was ready to go pick up her SUV. Carly told Barry she was ready to go. Barry and Carly got into his Range Rover and headed over to Signature Auto Group. Once there Carly asked if Mike Wong was there which he was. Hi Carly said Mike you're here to pick up your SUV. Yes I am said Carly. Mike said I'll get Leo to bring out your SUV. Mike called Leo and told him Mrs. Maniow was here to pick up her SUV. Leo drove Carly's SUV out from the back. Leo got out and told Carly here you go as he gave her the keys to her SUV. WOW said Barry. What color is that he asked. Mediterranean Blue Metallic exterior and black leather interior. It's a BMW two thousand sixteen X1 SUV said Carly. Just then Barry's cell phone rang. Hello said Barry. Hi Barry it's Garry. What's up Garry? asked Barry. What did you do today? asked Garry. I was in the recording studio with the New York City Pops Orchestra recording the Stephen Sondheim album. Why do you ask? asked Barry. Because I caught the Ronda Quivers show on lifetime this afternoon. Her guest for the whole hour was Suzie Q? Oh really said Barry. Yes really said Garry. Of course she had to talk about you when Ronda asked about you. Ronda wanted to know if it was true that you're gay. Of course Suzie Q? said yes  it true that you were gay. Also that it was so freeing for you. Because now you could come out of the closet. Suzie Q? mentioned that you were in a hot and heavy relationship with Scott Nevins. Suzie Q? also said she figured you and Scott Nevins would be making a big announcement soon. Like what kind of announcement? He and I are getting married said Barry. Yeah like that's going to happen any time real soon. I know Scott would like nothing better than for that to happen. Sorry but I'm happily married to my wife  said Barry. I know you are side Garry. Scott's just in another world wishing for something that will never happen ever said Barry.
