On the 2012 Manilow Highway


2012 turned out to be much much better for seeing Mr. Manilow that expected.   Although Vegas was over and there was NO Tour.....Barry did a fantastic job of wandering around the Midwest and points east.  Clearly this wasn't a tour because there was no tour t-shirt list all the visited cities and not tour program.   But those are actually 2 separate stories.

Let's back up to December of 2011.   Immediately following the end of Barry's run at the Paris he had more and very extensive hip surgery (not replacement already).  Whoever told him and his peeps that he would be back on stage by February for the 3-night run in Chicago has clearly never seen him perform.   After wat had to be a difficult and painful recovery for Barry, rearranging and moving show dates....we hit the Manilow Highway.   First up - Moline, IL:

Had I known how the show schedule would wash out, probably would have not gone to Detroit.   But it was definitely worth the drive with Robin and Peggy.
