Hello Hello

Brian Murphy called Barry house to see if he was home. Instead Brian got Carl. He asked if Barry was there. Carly said sorry Brian Barry's across the pond. Saturday January 6th was an anti-bulling concert at the O2. Barry was on stage with Cyndi Lauper. Barry said they were going to sing Big Yellow Taxi one of the duets from Cyndi Lauper's Joni Mitchell album. Then at the end Barry, Cyndi and group of talented kids who have been bulled sang with them on One Voice. Today Barry is up in Edinburgh to start his book signing tour. Then he's on to Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham and London. After that Barry's doing his Williamsburg Tour for three nights at the O2. Friday January 19th, Saturday January 20th and Sunday 21st. Barry will be home at the end of the month. What's up? asked Carly. I called to let Barry know that in Monday January 8th Las Vegas Review Journal John
Katselometes column he talked about the Westgate's new billboard that has a video panel. Bottom of the paragraph on the Westgate it says  "And soon we expect Barry Manilow's image to be played across that video panel. Maybe even this week." I wonder who gave them that information? said Brian. Just to let you know Gregory called Marc and told him that he emailed him and David Taylor the Las Vegas Review Journal piece that was in their online paper on Monday. Gregory said he got lucky when he called Marc because David was also there at the time. Marc put Gregory on speaker phone so all three of them could talk to each other. Gregory said during their conversation that David thought Suzanne gave John Katselometes the information on Barry and the Westgate. David told both Gregory and Marc that Suzanne wants Barry to do a Las Vegas residency. So that's why Abby said that fans all over the internet were very exited. Abby also mentioned that over on Shirley Vance's Facebook page for Barry. That fans who liked her Facebook group for Barry were very exited that Barry was going to do a residency at the Westgate Casino Resort in Las Vegas. Yes Barry is doing a residency but not in Las Vegas. He is doing a residency at The Tropicana Casino Resort in Atlantic City. Three months February, June and October for the next six years two thousand eighteen to two thousand twenty-four.  One of the fans who liked Shirley's Facebook page said she hoped his image would be played across that video panel by the end of this week said Carly. I did hear from Barry's manager David Taylor on Sunday. Last week he was in Atlantic City and he stayed at the Tropicana Casino Resort.  David said that the center cylinder had Barry's image on it. Then on the rectangular panels on either said it said "Coming in February, June and October Barry Manilow. Tickets on sale now." The speakers that are on the outside were blaring Barry singing Copacabana. David told me he use his video camera to tape that so Barry could see it when he gets home said Carly. Eric Barry's PA is over in the UK with Barry and company. Then next week David is headed to Philadelphia and then to San Antonio for some last minute stuff dealing with The Mayflower's two regional runs this year. Next month Barry will be at the Tropicana Thursday February first through Sunday February fourth and Thursday February eighth thru Sunday February eleventh. I'm going down opening weekend Thursday February first thru Sunday February fourth with my Barry Buddies Abby, Rita and Zoey. On  Thursday November fifteenth Barry's album 2:00AM Paradise Café II is being released. Barry does a CD debut at the Rose Theatre at Lincoln Center that evening. Barry kicks his Paradise Café II Tour in Atlantic City at the Tropicana. Thursday December twentieth to Sunday December twenty third and Friday December twenty eighth to Monday December thirty first. The two weeks at Radio City Music Hall Sunday December twenty third two thousand eighteen to Saturday January fifth, two thousand nineteen was a no go. Instead Barry's doing New Years Eve down in Atlantic City at the Tropicana. Just then Carly got another call. She told Brian she'd call him back later. Carly said hello to the person on the other end of the line. Hi Carly it's Abby. What's up Abby? asked Carly. Well the LA Times, Chicago Sun Times and the New York Post all have articles mentioning Barry signing with the Westgate Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The LA Times said Barry Manilow starts his residency Thursday March 19th thru Sunday March 23rd and Thursday March 27th thru Sunday March 30th. They said Barry would be doing two weekends Thursday thru Sunday a month for the rest of this year.  According to Robin Leach and John Katselometes  from the Las Vegas Review Journal. Supposedly Barry signed a six year deal with the Westgate. I know that Barry signed with the Tropicana Casino Resort in Atlantic City for six years. Since you, me, Rita and Zoey are going open weekend next month said Abby. David Taylor Barry's manager seems to think that Suzanne is the one who's putting out this information said Carly. He told me he did a conference call with Garry, Marc and Barry yesterday. David said he was going to have the LA Times, Chicago Sun Times and New York Post print retractions in their papers. He is also  going to get Robin and John to print a
retraction in the columns they write for the Las Vegas Review Journal. Barry, Adrienne, Enoch, Jack, Marty and Bruce's new musical The Mayflower dose two regional runs this year. Carly said goodbye to Abby so she could take the dogs out and then feed them dinner.
