Carly made it home from her trip across the pond to celebrate her first anniversary with Barry. While she was there she got to see three of Barry's concerts. July tenth, fifteenth and sixteenth. On Saturday night Barry opened the concert with Music Is You. He then sang Leaving On A Jet Plane by Peter, Paul and Mary and Calypso. All three songs were written by Henry John Deutschendorg Jr. Henry was better know to everyone as John Denver. John was one of Barry's good friends. Barry played the acoustic guitar during Leaving On A Jet Plane and Calypso. He did his little Here At The Mayflower medley. Then he sang two new songs Welcome To The Mayflower and Who Is The Shadow Man. He told the audience those two songs were from Here At The Mayflower II (Many more stories inside.) The album was coming out Sunday November thirteenth. Fifteen years to the date in two thousand one when the prequel Here At The Mayflower came out. Barry also explained that there was a new elevator operator named Eddie since Freddie was dead. Freddie loved to blab to everyone so one night while walking home he got shot. Carly called her friend Vicki Smith to tell her all about her trip. She mentioned that Barry and convention coordinator Pamela Harmon were working on next years BMIFC convention long distance. They decided to have the convention in Denver Colorado while Barry was playing Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The convention dates are Wednesday July fifth thru Sunday July ninth. Some of the convention itinerary had already been finalized. Barry had gotten the convention hotel the Sheraton Denver Downtown fifteen fifty court place. There are a total of one thousand two hundred thirty one rooms. Some of the convention stuff that was already finalized was the meet and greet, the two seminars, the New York deli lunch, the tickets for two concerts at Red Rocks, the barbeque at Red Rocks, brunch and Q&A, There would be the usual stuff. Charity walk, disco, fan display room, local fan club room and video watching room. The two seminars would be
hosted by Dean Schroder head of the Manilow Music Project and Andrew Grammer head of the One Voice Foundation. The One Voice Foundation was Barry's new animal charity dedicated to helping animal shelters. Every Thursday when Barry was not on the road somewhere. Barry volunteered at Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition (BARC) animal shelter. He always brought two twenty five pound bags of Rachel Ray cat and dog food. Barry would take one of the dogs outside to BARC'S outdoor dog area. BARC was where his wife Carly got her latest rescue dog. He was Bailey a one year old male Golden Retriever. Carly had started giving free veterinary services to BARC on her two week days off. Vicki told Carly that fans were on Facebook talking about how happy, healthy and loved Barry was. Oh said Carly Barry's always been happy, healthy and love. I guess some fans just figure that Barry's been unhappy most of his entire life said Vicki. Maybe they were thinking about Brian Murphy when they said that. Barry's still very energized when he does stuff said Carly. Barry's staying two extra weeks in London. That's because the musical Here At The Mayflower is opening on the West End. The entire Broadway cast will be in the London production. Barry's run at the Palladium ends on Sunday August twenty eighth. Then two weeks later on Wednesday September fourteenth Here At The Mayflower opens at the Palladium. Tickets for Here At The Mayflower go on sale Friday July twenty ninth at 10am London time. After Barry comes home he and I are going on a much needed vacation said Carly. Barry planed our vacation. He wanted to go by Amtrak again. So we're taking The Lake Shore Limited from New York to Chicago. Then we get on the California Zephyr and go to San Francisco. Two days in San Francisco. Then we board The Coast Starlight to Portland. Two days in Portland. Then back on The Coast Starlight to Seattle. Two days in Seattle. Then we board the Empire Builder to head back to Chicago. We'll take The Lake Shore Limited back to New York. Barry said this was a battery recharge vacation when he showed me the itinerary for our trip. He's busy November thirteenth thru the eighteenth with Here At The Mayflower II stuff. Album signing, Rachel Ray, The Late Show with Stephen Cobert, The Late Late Show with Seth Meyers and Today Show on the plaza. December twenty eighth two thousand sixteenth thru January first two thousand seventeen five nights at Radio City Music Hall. March two thousand seventeen Canadian Tour from Quebec City Quebec to Vancouver British Columbia. Then next summer US tour June thru the beginning of August. Outdoor venues from Mansfield Massachusetts to Auburn Washington. Denver and Los Angeles are the only two cities where he's doing more than one show. During the Denver daters at Red Rocks amphitheater he's paying tribute to his dear friend John Denver. Then when he does the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles he will have the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra backing him up said Carly. Sometime in two thousand eighteen he's headed down under to Australia and New Zealand. Now if I remember correctly Barry isn't popular in Asia, Europe and South America said Vicki. That's right said Carly Barry got booed off the stage back in nineteen eighty five in Copenhagen Denmark. I don't think they were interested in a contemporary jazz recording artist. Nineteen eighty five was when Brian Murphy was at his peek popularity wise. Yesterday Marc called to tell me some exiting news The Montreux Jazz Festival organizers called. They want Barry to open the fifty second Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux Switzerland in two thousand eighteen. Marc's going over to London at the end of the week. so he can see Barry's show and tell him the great news said Carly.
