Checking Facebook Page

After taking the dogs out. Then eating breakfast Barry headed upstairs to go on his Mac. Once on his Mac he went on the internet to check his email on Verizon. He then went to Facebook to see if any fans had posted new messages on his page. There were a couple of new ones. One fan was begging for Barry to come to Wilkes Bare Pennsylvania. She said oh please ASAP! ASAP was short for As soon as possible. I'm not touring in the US this year. Next month I'm going out to LA for the Grammy Awards. I'm leaving on  Tuesday February ninth in the morning. I'm going to visit Garry and Deanna up in Santa Barbara. Then Friday afternoon I'll drive down to LA. That's so I can hit the convention center on Saturday for the swag stuff. Then on Sunday afternoon the band and I are rehearsing for Monday nights Grammy performance. I'm not going to Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy party since I wasn't invited. That's ok thought Barry Clive hated me any way. For the fifteen years I recorded for Arista all my records and singles did very well. All of my albums and singles came out certified quadruple platinum. The albums and singles debuted at number one on the correct Billboard charts. Every one of my albums got nominated for Grammy Awards. Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Jazz Vocal Album, Best Single and etc. Then in two thousand L.A. Reed took over as president of Arista Records. That summer I met Glenn  Barros president of Concord Records at a party. We got to talking music. Two days later I went to Glenn Barros' office to sign a record contract. I've been with Concord Records Concord Jazz label ever since. So for the sixteen years I've been with Concord I've had albums and singles come out certified quadruple platinum. Album and singles debut at number one on the correct Billboard charts. Every album and single record nominated for a Grammy Award. Clive hates the fact that I'm so successful and that I love performing. I think he was hoping I would bomb as a recording artist. But I didn't bomb. Just then Barry's phone rang. It was Brian Murphy calling him. Hi Barry it's Brian. I hear we're presenting a Grammy on Monday. Yes we are said Barry. Cassandra Wilson and I were supposed to present together. However she got sick and canceled. I hope she get to feeling  a lot better said Brian. I did find out Clive Davis that invited Suzanne Somers and Scott Nevins to his Pre-Grammy party on Sunday February fourteenth.Interesting said Barry. I  ran into Scott who asked if you were going to Clive's party. I told him no you weren't going to Clive's party because didn't invite you. . Then I had to explain to Scott why Clive didn't invite you. All Scott could say was oh my! I'm thinking he was hoping you'd be there so he could see you. Now I didn't tell him you got invited to the official Grammy party at the LA Convention Center. Nor did I tell him you were preforming at the party. I could see him and Suzanne going to the convention center to see if they could get into the party without an invitation.  He  asked if you were bringing someone to the Grammy Awards. I said I didn't really know if you were or not. Because he'd have a lot to say if he knew you were coming with Lorna Luft not your wife. That weekend wass actually Carly's weekend off. However veterinarian Jeff Houston's youngest daughter Jillian is getting married on Sunday. So he and Carly switched weekends Jeff's off February thirteenth and fourteenth. Carly's off the following weekend February twentieth and twenty-first said Barry. Carly's fine with not going to the Grammy's. She'll be glued to the TV in our living room. Jeff's daughter is having a destination wedding down in San Juan Puerto Rico. Carly and I got them a hundred dollar gift card to Macys so they can buy whatever they need. That's nice said Brian. They said their goodbyes to each other. Then Barry went downstairs to make lunch. He had a bowl of Progresso tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. Then he took the dogs out before going out. Today was his day to volunteer at BARC short for Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition. Barry would go over and take dogs outside and play with the cats. There was one cat named Madeline that Barry wanted to see. Madeline was a female cat. She was one year and two months old. She had pale yellow cream fur and brown eyes. Barry just loved Madeline because she was a very loving cat. Whenever Barry came into the cat room Madeline came running to meet him. After hanging out with the cats Barry went to the front desk to ask for adoption papers. Michelle said oh you want to adopt an animal. Yes said Barry I do. I want to adopt Madeline the cat. So Michelle gave Barry the papers which he filled out quickly. Michelle took the papers to Betty the adoption person. Betty came out and got Barry to talk to him. She asked him if he had any pets. Barry said yes I do. There's two Labrador Retrievers Maggie six, Max two and one Beagle Charlie five. Maggie, Max and Charlie get along fine with the next door neighbors three cats Toby, Peck and Callie. So having a cat in the house won't be a problem. Downstairs on the Garden floor there is a closet where I keep the dog food. I had Kyle the neighbor with the cats put a cat door on that door, That's where I'll keep Madeline's cat food and litter box. Since Barry was on of BARC's best supporters they let him take Madeline home that same day. Barry went out to his SUV to get the cat carrier. He put Madeline in the cat carrier. Once he got home he took the carrier into the house. He let Madeline out of her carrier. Charlie came in and went to sniff Madeline's fur. He also gave her a lick on the top of her head. Then in came Maggie and Max. They both came over to sniff Madeline. Soon Barry heard the front door open and Carly said hello. I'm in the living room said Barry. Carly took off her coat and hung it up in the closet. She came into the living room and sat on the couch. Carly then felt something nudge her. She looked down and saw this pale yellow cream cat. That is Madeline said Barry. Oh hi Madeline said Carly. Madeline crawled up into Carly's lap to snuggle up. Madeline is from BARC. I adopted her today after I did my volunteering. Kyle put in a cat door on the closet where the dog foods kept. That's also where I placed the litter box. Charlie, Maggie and Max have already come over and sniffed Madeline.  Just so you know I'm glad I married you said Carly. You are such a kind hearted soul. Barry then said when I went on the internet this morning there were fans over on my Facebook page begging me to play Wilkes Barrie and Hershey Pennsylvania ASAP. I'm not doing any US dates this year said Barry. I'm heading to the UK this summer. I'm hosting the Tony Awards. Then at the end of November there's my Barry Manilow and Friends Asian Cruise for my fans . Hopefully in February I can finish recording 2:00AM Paradise Café II. Then we can do the mastering and pressing. I'd like the album to come out in October.
