Hi Everyone,
This month’s MTV is the concert at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, a week ago.
It was a very rough show to do because the city is only 20 minutes away from the school where 17 children were killed.
I wasn’t sure if we should do our show that night. We were all still mourning for the horror that these people had gone through.
I kept asking my self, “Why have I wound up 20 minutes away from this school? Why me?”
But then I realized, “Why NOT me?”
Maybe our show would give these people a little relief from the grief they’d gone through, 24 hours a day for the entire week.
So, with a lump in my throat, I decided to do our show and try and give them 90 minutes of joy.
From the moment the curtain opened, I could feel that the audience wanted to forget for a little while and I was glad I decided to do the show.
You’ll see their reaction starting at the first blast from the band.
I hope we did give them some relief, but my heart goes out to everyone in that area.
And I cheer on the brilliant and brave students that have been protesting and marching.
What has our country become?
Love,
Barry

It was very exciting. I changed songs, arrangements, rundowns and monologues constantly. T...

Happy New Year!!
My hope for the new year is that we’re over the crap we’ve been through during the last two years!
This month’s Manilow TV is a wonderful concert in St. Paul, MN in 2012.
The audience was sensational, the band sounded great and I looked like I was having fun.
Lots of interest...
