Let Me Go

Well it was over and there was nothing Barry could do. Barry dialed up Marc Hulett. Marc said hello. Barry said hi Marc it's Barry. What's up? asked Marc Well said Barry it's over. What's over? asked Marc Abby and I said Barry. What do you mean it's over between you and Abigail said Marc. Just that said Barry it's over between me and Abby. I found out from Darren Samantha Griffin's husband that Abby's former fiancé has come back into the picture. He wants to rekindle their relationship. From what Darren said this was the one that got away. Seems he needed to figure things out before he made the big commitment. Well it looks as though he did and now he's back in the picture for good. Actually Darren asked me to meet him at this restaurant in the Village called Trattoria Italia 
it's a new café in Greenwich Village owned by chef  Julie Anne Berkovic. That's where Darren told me the news about Abby and her old fiancé coming back into the picture. Are you going to be ok with this? said Marc Yeah said Barry I'm ok with this. Maybe it's a good thing I'm going on a mini US and UK mini tour. Oh and the next time you're in New York we'll have to go to Italia Trattoria. The food there is to die for said Barry. Julie Anne called her friend Deborah Grogan to tell her the exiting news. Ring Hello this is Deborah Grogan. Deborah it's me  Julie Anne Oh hi Julie Anne said Deborah. So what's up with you? Deborah asked You'll never guess who came into the trattoria yesterday. Who? said Deborah Broadway songwriter Barry Manilow said Julie Anne the man behind the musicals Jump Shout Boogie, Copacabana,  Brooklyn Blues, Harmony and etc.  You're kidding aren't you said Deborah. No said Julie Anne I'm not kidding. He was in the trattoria yesterday about 1PM said Julie Anne. He ordered the linguini with white clam sauce and a glass of chardonnay. Who was he with? asked Deborah. Record producer Darren Griffin who produced all the cast albums for Barry Manilow's musicals. Barry was wearing blue jeans, navy socks, white tee shirt, blue plaid shirt, black tie shoes and a black sued jacket. I figured you'd want to know that since your a big fan of his. Well so are you said Deborah. Oh BTW for a seventy year old man he's one hot guy. Full head of  light brown hair with zero grey in it. Big baby blue eyes. Plus a smile that goes on forever and ever. Then today JD Taylor from WKQX 104.9 FM comes in. I over hear him telling the guy he was with that Barry Manilow's new album Music Is You a tribute to John Denver comes out in two weeks. That's just in time for the holidays. Oh really said Deborah. I didn't know Barry sang. You didn't said Julie Anne. No! said Deborah. Did you ever hear of 2:00 AM Paradise Café, Swing Street, Showstoppers and Here At The Mayflower?  Well those albums were recorded by Barry Manilow. Barry's a jazz artist on the side. He was suppose to put out Paradise Café II his follow up album to 2:00 AM Paradise Café . But it looks like he's putting out an album that pays tribute to his long time friend John Denver. I understand Barry and John go way back when it comes to being friends. For Christmas I'll get you copies of 2:00 AM Paradise Café , Swing Street, Showstoppers, Here At The Mayflower and Music Is You. I know you already have all of the cast albums to Barry Manilow's musicals. You know that in March Barry's latest musical Here At The Mayflower opens at the August Wilson theatre. Isn't that the title of one of Barry's albums you promised me for Christmas said Julie Anne. Yes it is but I guess he's taking that album and turning it into a musical. I heard Diane Degarmo, Ace Young and Lorna Luft are in it. Diane Degarmo is Diane Parr, Ace Young is Kenneth Stone and Lorna Luft is Esther the older lady who's married to Joe in the songs Not What You See and I Miss You.
