I said no and I mean no.

Las Vegas Review Journal March two thousand fifteen Katz's column. "So very Barry. We're inching closer...closer...closer to a final sign-off of Manilow's residency at Westgate's International Theatre. Dates he would have filled in April and May at the theatre have been taken off the schedule, but we do anticipate a return to the stage by Manilow this summer. He headlined the room from 2005 to 2010." When did I headline the International Theatre thought Barry. That was Brian Murphy who headlined at the Las Vegas Hilton between two thousand five and two thousand nine. Not to two thousand ten. Then for two years two thousand ten and two thousand eleven Brian was at the Paris
on the Las Vegas strip said Barry. What have I been saying all a long. I don't like Las Vegas and no
I didn't sign with the Westgate. I'm going down under to Australia and New Zealand in June. Then on Monday August twenty seventh I'm doing one night only on the Blenheim Palace grounds. I did my first concert at Blenheim Palace on Saturday August twenty seven nineteen eighty three. That was thirty five years ago said Barry. In the fall I'm doing three months on Broadway at the Cort Theatre. I'll be at the Cort Theatre in September, October and November. Then in December I'll be at the Barclay Center for three nights. That's Saturday December twenty-ninth, Sunday December thirtieth and Monday December thirty first. Friday December twenty eighth thru Monday December thirty first is the BMIFC's annual New Years Eve Party Weekend. The party weekend will be at the Grand Hyatt  New York City next to the Grand Central Terminal. That's where the BMIFC had their New York City Rhythm Convention in June of two thousand fifteen. I did Great  Performance's on PBS Wednesday June seventeenth. Then I also did a BMIFC members only concert outdoors at the Delacort Theatre in Central Park on Saturday June twentieth two thousand fifteen. Then in two thousand nineteen during the summer I'll be doing the outdoor sheds (Amphitheaters) across Canada and the US. Garry asked if I was playing  Nikon Amphitheater at Jones Beach  State Park Wantagh? I told Garry the amphitheater is now called Norwell Health Amphitheater. And no I'm not playing there on my New York City stop. I will be playing Central Park's fifty five acre Great Lawn.  The
concert will be on Monday June seventeen two thousand nineteen. I told Garry David asked Mayor Bill de Blasio if I could do a concert on Central Park's Great Lawn. Mayor de Blasio said yes I could do a one night only free concert. He told the mayor that I always come out at the end of my concerts and do encores. The mayor said "I know Barry Manilow does encores at the end of his concerts. Since I've been to a bunch of his concerts here in New York City." By the way Carly called me to tell me that Brian Murphy has extended his UK shows to include Leeds, Birmingham, Glasgow, Cardiff and Dublin. Carly and her friend Rita were asked by Jacqueline to go to the O2 shows in September. Rita told Jacqueline that she, Zoey and Carly were going to my opening night concert on Broadway at the Cort Theatre. Your opening night said Garry. I've been wanting to do another short Broadway run. David got me three months September, October and November said Barry. I already got you and Denise tickets to my show in November. I did tell Carly I was getting you and Denise tickets to my show on Broadway. Carly then asked me "Barry why don't you invite  Garry and Denise over to our house for Thanksgiving this year. Thanksgiving is on Thursday November twenty second of this year. So I got you and Denise tickets for two of my Broadway shows. Saturday November twenty fourth and Sunday November twenty fifth.  Barry said goodbye to Garry. Then he went back on the internet to check out the latest news. He saw fans talking about him singing Let Freedom Ring at Bill Clinton's first inaugural concert back in nineteen ninety three.  That was Brian Murphy who sang that song at Bill Clinton's first inaugural concert back then. The only time I ever sang Let Freedom Ring was on Fiesta At Fords Theatre in nineteen ninety two. President George H.W.  and Barbara Bush were in attendance. That's the only time I've ever sang Let Freedom Ring live on TV. Brian Murphy  has also sang that song twice on A Capitol Fourth. He asked me if he could sing that song on PBS' A Capitol Fourth on the capital lawn with the president and first lady in attendance. Now as I have said many times before I don't sing for politicians or for political reasons. Yes I vote every year but who I vote for is no ones business. I don't even give money to any politicians for their political campaigns. If it's for charity of course I'll do the concert and give money. But if it's for some one running for a political office no I won't do a concert for that purpose. Brian Murphy gives money to politicians for their political campaigns and I don't. I don't think celebrities should stick their noses in politics unless they're running for office. Like a few celebrities did.  I know Brian Murphy voted for in two thousand sixteen Hillary Clinton. That's because he's a democrat said Barry. He also went to a thousand dollar
a plate fundraiser for Hillary Clinton that  was held in Palm Springs California. Barbra Streisand was the entertainer for the fundraiser. Brian went to the Hillary Clinton fundraiser with Gregory Knofler his husband. Brian and Gregory go out a lot with Suzanne Somers and her husband Alan Hamel.
