Guess Who Published Their First Book?

Guess who published their first book? Garry Kief that's who. In two thousand three Garry was on vacation when he met this woman. Denise Sherman was taking some photographs and caught Garry in one of her photos. She asked Garry if it was ok that he was in one of her photographs. Garry told her that was ok with him. She said where are my manners I'm Denise Sherman. Garry then introduced himself to Denise. He asked Denise what did do for a living she told Garry she was a photojournalist. That's a photographer who goes allover taking photos and puts them into a coffee table books said Denise. What do you for a living Garry? asked Denise. Right now I'm retired. But I use to run a company that managed celebrities careers called Stiletto Entertainment. My company manages the careers of Barry Manilow , Lorna Luft , Dave Koz,, Kenny G, Scott Baio actor, Fleetwood Mac rock and roll group and many more. I was also Barry Manilow's personal manager. My daughter Kirsten Kief-Bernstein now runs the company. Garry and Denise had a lot in common so they hit it off instantly.  Then a year later Garry popped the question to Denise and she said yes to marring him. So since two thousand five Garry and Denise have been happily married. One of Denise's favorite books was Travels With Charley: In Search Of America by author John Steinbeck. Back in nineteen sixty John Steinbeck took a road trip around the United States with his standard poodle Charley. John's travels with Charley was turned into that book. Denise has always wanted to retrace John Steinbeck's steps. By following the same route John Steinbeck took on his road trip around the United States with his dog Charley. Garry said to Denise why don't you jut do it. Do what? said Denise. Go follow John Steinbeck's route around America that he took with his dog Charley. But what about you? asked Denise. Garry said I snitched your copy of Travels With Charley. Read it from cover to cover and fell in love with  it. So what do you say we actually do this said Garry. Do what said Denise.  Go on a year long road trip and retrace John Steinbeck's travels with his dog Charley said Garry.  Garry took Denise outside to show her the Earthroamer XV-HD off road expedition vehicle that he bought. This is the perfect off road vehicle for us to take on our travels. It runs completely on solar power. It has everything we need. Plus it can go anywhere we want to go said Garry. I always wanted to go travel the country this way. Before Labor Day Garry and Denise drove across country to New York City. They were going to stay with Barry and Carly until after Labor Day when they would leave on their journey all around the United States. Right after Labor day two thousand fifteen Garry, Denise
and their dog Jake started on their journey. The book they collaborated on was called Travels With Jake (Following the path John Steinbeck took on his search of America.) Denise dedicated the book to John Steinbeck for giver her a sense of adventure. Also her husband Garry for allowing her to follow this dream. Garry dedicated the book to his wife Denise for fueling his love of  adventure and travel. Since two thousand three when he met Denise Garry's done more traveling than he did when he ran Stiletto Entertainment. Garry and Denise made sure that Rob, Kirsten, Barry, Carly, Marc, David and Eric all got autographed copies of their first book together. Garry knew this would not be their last trip together or their last book. Garry had suggested Barry take his journals from his two thousand fifteen Brooklyn Blues Tour and turn them into a book. What Barry did back then was the band, backup singers and him went on tour by tour buss. That's was what a lot of the country artists did. They started in Portland Maine and ended in Seattle Washington.. Barry was considering doing that again. Only this time start in Seattle Washington and go across the country to Portland Maine.
Also this time go different highways to se a different parts of America. When he did do this he was going to take their bull terrier Tucker with him. Garry called Barry to tell him he heard the Westgate caved into Brain Murphy's wishes. So Brian Murphy was headed back to Las Vegas Nevada and the Westgate formerly known at the LV Hilton and LVH. Three nights a week two weeks each month for a total of twenty-four weeks. Barry told Garry he felt sorry for Brian Murphy's fans couldn't afford to go to Las Vegas. When I go on my Paradise Café II Tour I'll give Brian Murphy fans a discount on my tickets. All they have to do is show their BMFC membership card to get a discount on my tickets. That's why Barry would never completely stop touring. That was also why doing only three months in Atlantic City suited him better. Each month he would do three weeks with four shows each of the three weeks he was there. That still left him time to play cities across the US for fans who couldn't afford Atlantic City. However because Barry wasn't charging  big bucks for his Tropicana tickets. He figured every one of his fans could afford to come see him in Atlantic City starting in December of 2018. That's where Barry was going to be for New Years Eve 2018 in Atlantic City. He and Vikki needed to work on a BMIFC  New Years Eve Party Weekend for December 2018 in Atlantic City at the Tropicana. Barry knew the fans would love that.
