Oh Really!

Barry and Garry got home at eleven pm. Soon after both Carly and Denise walked in the door. How was the show said Barry?  It was ok said Carly as she and Denise walked into the living room. OMG! is Brian Murphy skinny said Denise. You mean tooth pick legs said Barry. If a strong wind kicked up it would blow him away. Oh yeah said Garry Brian Murphy hates to eat yes tooth pick legs  Carly said. Jacqueline asked me and Denise what we were doing tomorrow night. I told her that me, Ally, Rita and Zoey were going to Barry's Because It's Christmas benefit at the Barclay Center. The benefit concert sold out within thirty minutes after the tickets went on sale. Kathy said no wonder I couldn't get tickets for me, Jacqueline, Kim, Shelly and Gillian.   On our way home Rita thought that was interesting that the others couldn't get tickets to tomorrow nights benefit concert. Shelly was telling members in the Facebook group she owns that she and her two friends were going to the benefit. Actually they don't have tickets.  Kathy said non of them had tickets for the benefit tomorrow night.
Good because they're always trying to get back stage when they come to my concerts said Barry. Marc, David and Now Eric have the task of making sure they don't get back stage. Knowing Shelly, Kim and Gillian they will be somewhere around the stage door to see Barry go inside. Who are these three women asked Denise? They're fans of Barry's said Carly. Shelly the group leader claims she, Kim and Gillian are BFF's with Barry, Bruce Sussman, Garry Kief and Marc Hulett. However they are not BFF's with any of them. I do know they are friends with Suzie, Rob Bruce's partner and Scott Nevins. Rob knows to keep his lips zipped on any thing that pertains to Barry. Rob says those women are so nosey that if they could  they would literally crawl inside my pants said Barry. Wouldn't they just loved to know what brand, fabric and style of men's underwear I wear. The only thing I will say is they're 100% cotton. Also I don't wear bikinis or thong style underwear. Barry's friend Denny who still lived in Palm Springs emailed him the Bruce Fessier article on Brian Murphy that appeared in the Friday December 8th Desert Sun life section under entertainment. It mentioned Brian's A Gift Of Love benefit shows at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Springs. There was also a little Q&A with Brian. Of course they asked Brian about a second Las Vegas residency. Since there was some hinting about it. He said Gregory Knofler (Brian's husband and manager) was getting ready to dot the I's and cross the T's. on the contract. Hopefully he would be back in Las Vegas at the Westgate (formerly the Las Vegas Hilton) Brian would be there Thursday thru Saturday. If he thinks he can just do the Las Vegas shows only. He's only fooling himself. Look what happened the last time. He played LV only in 2005. His fans who couldn't go complained. So starting in 2006 Brian had to do shows outside LV whenever he wasn't in LV. The other thing is that Brian's tickets are very expensive. Barry did see some photos of Brian Murphy's Chicago and Long Island concerts. Barry thought Brian's velvet jackets were tacky. Also his attempt at a tuxedo did quite look right on him. Brian does not know how to wear a tuxedo. Tonight was Barry's seventh annual Because It's Christmas benefit. Last year Barry was at Madison Square Garden for his annual benefit. Barry was aiming to do his two thousand eighteen eighth annual Because It's Christmas benefit at Carnegie Hall. He wanted to have the New York Philharmonic Orchestra on stage to perform with him. Barry's Because It's Christmas benefit went from 8pm to 11:30pm. A two hour concert with a half hour intermission and a one hour encore. Barry's concerts always ended up with encores. Barry Manilow's fans just couldn't get enough of him. so he would do encores for them. Barry went backstage after the regular ending. He quickly came back out and said "Lets start this benefit allover again." With that he took off his white jacket with black lapels and black vest. Barry went right into one of his hot numbers I'm Your Man. He ended the one hour encore with You're Looking Hot Tonight.
