The latest craziness was averted on Facebook by both Carly and Vicki Smith. Carly found out who added Jackie Louis to the One Voice BMFC Facebook group. Carly gave that member a lecture. Telling her that only she and co-director Vicki Smith could add members to the group. Carly told the members that she and Vicki had been following Kate Naughton's rules from day one. Members had to belong to the BMIFC. Members had to live within one hundred miles of the director or directors of the club. The club had to support a local charity. Which they did they always had done. Their first charity was the North Shore Animal League. Then in two thousand three they started supporting the Harmony Program from New York City as well. They also supported Barry Manilow's charity the Manilow Music Project. This year the fan club was raffling off a queen sized quilt and a few albums that had been autographed and some other stuff. Every year before Christmas the fan club took bags of dog food, toys and treats over to the North Shore Animal League. Carly went over to the fan clubs Facebook group to post some new information. Next week Barry Manilow goes into the studio to record Barry Manilow Putting It Together The Songs Of Stephen Sondheim. Which is due out on Tuesday March fifteen. Also on Tuesday March fifteenth Barry will be doing an album signing at Rough Trade Records Brooklyn. The album signing is between one pm and three thirty pm. That evening is the album debut at Carnegie Hall with the New York City Pops Orchestra Tickets go on sale next week Friday November twentieth at one pm eastern standard time. If you go to the album signing the album will cost twenty five dollars. For the twenty five dollars you get to meet Barry Manilow, have him autograph your album and you get the CD free. For members that are going to the album debut at Carnegie Hall let us know. We want to get together before the album debut for dinner somewhere. Carly got off the computer to go make dinner for her and Barry. She went up stairs to start dinner. Carly had just put the manicotti in to the oven to cook. When she heard the front door open. Hello sunshine said Barry as he came walking into the kitchen. So how was your day? he asked. Fine. said Carly The good news is we have a new baby giraffe at the zoo. He was born at nine am this morning. Since he's a male and we decided to name him Barry. Oh really said Barry. Yes said Carly. Barry's mother's name is Esther. So we thought Barry was the perfect name for the little guy. Now we're just waiting on our next two new arrivals. Which should be in two weeks. That's when Bea the gorilla should have her baby and Koko the kola bear should have her baby as well. Jeff's on gorilla duty and I'm on kola bear duty. So far it looks like Bea's is having a girl and Koko's having a boy. If Koko has a boy I promised Garry Kief we'd name him Garry. Marc already has an animal named after him. Two years ago Matilda the elephant had her son. Marc took part in our adopt a zoo animal. That's where you can adopt any zoo animal you want. Marc adopted Matilda's the elephants baby boy. He gave him the name Marc. Garry heard about that and decided he wanted to take part in that. Once the baby is born we take their picture. Then we send you a photo of the animal you've adopted. Along with information on the baby animal you adopted. Remember you did that three years ago. When you adopted the female Adelie Penguin you named Marina. You named her Marina after Marina from the movie The Pebble And The Penguin. We just got a new male Adelie penguin named Hubie . Who knows maybe Marina and Hubie might become a couple. There are rocks in the Adelie penguins habitat. That's so the male penguin can give one to the female penguin. I made manicotti for
dinner along with an Italian salad. Earlier this year Vicki and I went to Pittsburgh to see you at the Benedum Center. Before the show we went to Lidia's Pittsburgh an Italian restaurant in downtown Pittsburgh. Both Vicki and I had the manicotti for dinner that night. After that I went looking to see if Lidia Bastianich had the recipe in one of her cook books. I found out she did and I bought the cook book so I could make the recipe. After dinner I need you to go with me so I can pick up my SUV. Mike Wong from Signature Auto Group called me right after I got home to tell me my SUV was in. Oh yeah that's right you ordered your new SUV in September. I'm curious to see what kind of SUV you chose said Barry. Carly set the table so she and Barry could eat dinner. After dinner Carly put the leftovers in a container. She also put the dishes in the dishwasher. While she did those things Barry let the dogs out and picked up after them. Once he came in he asked Carly if she was ready to go pick up her SUV. Carly told Barry she was ready to go. Barry and Carly got into his Range Rover and headed over to Signature Auto Group. Once there Carly asked if Mike Wong was there which he was. Hi Carly said Mike you're here to pick up your SUV. Yes I am said Carly. Mike said I'll get Leo to bring out your SUV. Mike called Leo and told him Mrs. Maniow was here to pick up her SUV. Leo drove Carly's SUV out from the back. Leo got out and told Carly here you go as he gave her the keys to her SUV. WOW said Barry. What color is that he asked. Mediterranean Blue Metallic exterior and black leather interior. It's a BMW two thousand sixteen X1 SUV said Carly. Just then Barry's cell phone rang. Hello said Barry. Hi Barry it's Garry. What's up Garry? asked Barry. What did you do today? asked Garry. I was in the recording studio with the New York City Pops Orchestra recording the Stephen Sondheim album. Why do you ask? asked Barry. Because I caught the Ronda Quivers show on lifetime this afternoon. Her guest for the whole hour was Suzie Q? Oh really said Barry. Yes really said Garry. Of course she had to talk about you when Ronda asked about you. Ronda wanted to know if it was true that you're gay. Of course Suzie Q? said yes it true that you were gay. Also that it was so freeing for you. Because now you could come out of the closet. Suzie Q? mentioned that you were in a hot and heavy relationship with Scott Nevins. Suzie Q? also said she figured you and Scott Nevins would be making a big announcement soon. Like what kind of announcement? He and I are getting married said Barry. Yeah like that's going to happen any time real soon. I know Scott would like nothing better than for that to happen. Sorry but I'm happily married to my wife said Barry. I know you are side Garry. Scott's just in another world wishing for something that will never happen ever said Barry.
