Are you a Fanilow?

[HollyGolightly]

I remember all my life, I have been a Fanilow.
Guess who's coming to my town in February?

Spoiler

Seriously, I've always had this idea to do for Barry Manilow what Catherine Johnson did for ABBA (you know, write a Tony winning hit Broadway musical based on his songs!).

I'm going to be there. I'm going to enter all the "backstage" pass contests I can find. I'm going to have my picture taken with him. I'm ecstatic.

It is always good to have something to look forward to!! I hope you win those backstage passes!

 

[Lepplady]

Good luck with those passes!
I have to admit that, yes. I've always liked me some Barry.

...if you need any tips on how to score some backstage access, let me know.....I've played the game many times in my radio career...sometimes successfully, sometimes not....and despite all the jokes that have followed Barry around for years-he is without a doubt-a skilled singer, songwriter and performer....I Write The Songs and Another New Years Eve are personal favorites....

Can't beat Weekend in New England.

 

[EMARX]

I must admit in long lost past I did occasionally sing along....

 

[Dana Jean]

Well, someone has to love it: Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl, but that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show....

 

[staropeace]

I love Manilow.

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

Gimme some tips! Backstage with Barry is on my bucket list. I've never heard a Barry Manilow joke. He's spectacular! I can't pick a favorite, I love them all.

...I sent some generic starters...mainly just be yourself and call the promoter or find out the name of his publicist or agent...tell them it's a lifelong dream...contact info is easily found on the ever present interweb...

I know he didn't write it, but I always loved the song Mandy. In fact, it was what we were going to name our first child if he was a she.

Good luck with getting the passes, and I hope you enjoy the show.

I can't remember exactly how I got this song in my head, but I do remember coming home from school early one day -- thinking I was alone in the house and singing Copacabana near the top of my lungs for some reason. I was happy about something -- when my little sister (who was supposed to still be in school herself) popped her head into my room and hollered. "Hey! Tony! You wanna keep it down!"



That was Thanksgiving table conversation for years, let me tell ya!

"Hey Mike! Why don't you belt us out a little Copacabana with dessert and coffee?"

 

[king family fan]

I use to listen to Barry alot when I was younger. It would be awesome for you to get back stage passes. Keep us up dated. Best of luck.

Absolutely nothing wrong with belting out a little Copacabana every now and then. My little fellow used to love to sing it with me. Now he's a big cranky mean almost 15 year old.

I'm starting to think that I've dreamed up the whole thing because I can't find it on the internet. Wasn't there a Carol Burnett spoof of Copacabana? I loved that one.

Love your new avatar! Great to see you! (((mike))) - cyber-hug. You've come a long way!

Thank you, baby! I shouldn't pitch my Broadway musical idea, then?
