Carly could still see what was on others Facebook pages without having a Facebook account. She went to take a look at this one Facebook page for Barry.  The page owner would tell everyone that she was BFF's with Barry which Carly knew she wasn't. The page owner posted the link to the Kats January 17th entertainment column. It talked about Clint Holmes and Earl Turner's show coming to the Westgate. Then he also mentioned Barry by saying the following. "Barry Manilow is expected to finally be announced as the hotel's resident Superstar attraction, performing three weekends a month through 2018." Carly emailed the URL to Barry's manager David Taylor. She also emailed the URL to Garry and to Marc so they could see this. Barry was back in London for the book signing and the four O2 concerts. So he called Carly to checkup on her and their four doggies. That's when Carly read Barry Kats' column in the January 17th Review Journal. She let him know that Garry, Marc and David had been emailed the URL to the Review Journal Kat's column. After I come back from the UK I'm headed to Atlantic City on  Thursday January 25th said Barry. Friday January 26th I'm going to be on Extra with host Tanika Ray. She'll be interviewing me on the Tropicana Showroom stage. That's when I'm announcing my six year run at the Tropicana's Showroom at that time. I will be there   February, June and October. Each month I'm doing three weekends with four shows each weekend.
The shows are Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'll also be showing everyone the poster for my Tropicana shows said Barry. Carly and Barry said their goodbyes. As soon as Carly got off the phone with Barry  David Barry's manager called. Carly told David  that Suzanne told the fans in Shirley's Facebook page that Barry had signed a contract with the Westgate. Suzanne has become chummy with Shirley, Keisha and Gillian  Carly told him. I got that from my friend Abby who still has a Facebook account. Abby said Shirley mentioned that Suzanne said she would take her, Keisha and Gillian backstage to meet Barry after his opening night show. That's interesting said David  since Barry will be on vacation for two weeks. Then he's back in the recording  studio to finish up 2:00AM Paradise Café II. Barry's recording the album over at The Brewery Recording Studios in Brooklyn said David. Barry's opening night isn't until Thursday December 20th at Tropicana in Atlantic City. Barry signed a six year contract with the Tropicana. Barry will be there from December 2018 to October 2024. He's doing December of this year. Then February, June and October 2019 to 2024. It's three weekends each month with for nights Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday each of the three weekends. Suzanne liked the idea of Barry being Westgate's resident headlining superstar.  Oh one more thing said Carly. I saw this on Twitter yesterday after dinner. Photo of Suzanne. To the right of her it said "I'm happy about [President Trump]... And now my career is over!" I know she's a Democrat. Barry told me that she was said Carly. After Carly got off the phone with David Taylor she let the dogs out. Carly would be very glad when Barry got home since Tucker their Bull Terrier really missed Barry a lot. Carly ended up putting Tucker's doggie bed upstairs in Barry's at home recording studio. Since that's where Carly usually found him curled up on Barry's oversized cushy chair. Tucker really loved Barry. Carly had also sent the photo of Suzanne to Barry. Once he got home Barry told Carly that Suzanne's career wasn't over just because Donald Trump is president.
I take it Suzanne's another one of those Democrats who's gone ballistic since Donald Trump became president? asked Carly It looks like she has said Barry.  Now you see why I keep my political views to myself said Barry. Yes I do said Carly. I remember a while some fans mentioned that you were a Democrat because you sang Let Freedom Ring at Bill Clinton's first inaugural concert in 1993. I replied no Barry did not sing at Bill Clinton's first inaugural concert. That was Brian Murphy who asked Barry and Bruce if he could sing their song Let Freedom Ring. Both Barry and Bruce told Brian he could sing their song. Brian did that song on A Capitol Fourth July fourth two thousand and nine. Plus in London back in 1992. Barry sang Let Freedom Ring at Fiesta At Fords Theatre. Barry does not sing for political purposes. Barry wondered where Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy party would take place. Carly told Barry she saw an article on Clive Davis and his Pre-Grammy party. She told Barry it would be at the Sheraton Times Square. In the article it mentioned that some past attendees would not be able to go. That's because the heads of Apple and Spotify were going. Marc said he had lunch with Brian and Gregory so both of them were going to Clive's Pre-Grammy party. Today was Barry's interview with Tanika Ray of Extra. Tomorrow Barry would be heading home. Then Sunday Barry and Carly were leaving New York City on Amtrak's The Lake Shore Limited. They were going to Chicago where they would catch Amtrak's Empire Builder. Barry and Carly were going to Portland Oregon to spend a week with Garry and Denise.
