Barry concert

A dream for me has been realized! I went to see Barry Manilow in concert!

My whole life I've wanted to see him in concert and I just happened to be going to Vegas last weekend and staying at the Hilton for a convention. I couldn't find anyone to go with me to the concert so I went by myself and just loved every minute.

Growing up Barry Manilow was the only music EVERYONE in the family could agree on, mom, dad and all 8 kids. So we listened to him a lot...especially on car trips, which there were many of.

I was able to sneek a few short video clips of "Mandy" and "Copacobana" my favorite!

ENJOY!


Mandy

Copacabana

Barry is very old and he is very quirky, but he is just delightful and endeering and has some amazing songs that are timeless! Love you fordever Barry!!!!!

I can't believe no one would go with you. I would totally have gone.

That is so AWESOME!! He is quirky fellow, but what a dreamy singer. Did he dedicate "Mandy" to me? =)

I am a huge 'Fanilow.' And I know all of the words to "Copacabana" because of you!!!!

I totally never realized that you actually LIKED Barry Mannilow. I thought you just got the song stuck in your head and liked to sing it sporadically. : ) How cool that you finally got to go see him!

Oh, and happy 1st birthday to sweet baby Natalie. So cute!

Oh, my heart did a little happy sigh just watching him! The only thing better would have been a clip of "Could it be Magic" because Barry is magic!

What? You couldn't find anyone to go with you? That's madness! I LOVE Manilow!
