Manilow Store Link - 2013 Program

A number of months back the Manilow people - Stiletto - put out a notice that fans could forward concert photos and they would be using some the next program . The new Manilow Program was released for presale earlier this week.   Still unknown was whether any of mine had been chosen.   Although I'm not sure which or how many - at least one of mine was chosen.   This is such a thrill for me.   My understanding is that one of my photos Barry himself requested after seeing it on the Manilow UK site.

 

Its a nice picture but I'm not sure I'd have chosen it.   Barry must have liked something about it though and I'm thrilled.

Manilow UK

I'm very happy to say that the photo on the cover page of Manilow UK of Barry in the red jacket was taken by me in Chicago this July.

My Backyard

It actually felt weird to leave my house instead of a hotel room to see a show.  And it felt great.

But then there's the hometown pressure.  I know Barry always puts on an amazing show which is exactly what I tell every one.   So when co-workers and friends are going to the show yhou want Barry to be extra special so you can hear "you were right".   And that's exactly what happened.

His Kind of Town

Chicago is definately Manilow's kind of town.  He loves it there and they love him.  
It was a long time coming but worth the wait for the rescheduled dates.

Title Town (Green Bay) 6/15/12

Who'da thunk....Green Bay would be so amazing.  
The roadtrip from Grand Rapids worked out beautifully.   We took the Lake Express ferry across Lake Michigan back to Milwaukee.   After a nice lunch, some rest and recovery we again hit the road north.

Although I felt the Green Bay crowd was great, it felt similar to Moline and Grand Rapids to me.   Maybe it was his impending birthday but Barry was loving the Green Bay audience.   An impromptu audience round of "Happy Birthday" was started and he seemed to really enjoy it.   This was the first time I've heard him say his real age out loud.  And proud he should be of his age and especially his accomplishments that continue to accumulate.     Anyway - he did his research for at one point when he was really feeling the love he said, "You make me feel like Aaron Rogers."
