Hi Everyone!

Well, we’re coming to the end of another wild year. From sold out arenas, to 18,000 fans at the Co-op Live in Manchester, to a sold out month in England at the prestigious London Palladium, to sold out shows at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, it really has been a wild year for us.

This month’s MTV was recorded on December 5th, 2003. That’s 21 years ago!

It’s “A&E Live by Request”. This was their Christmas version and it was a great show. I just loved doing it.

We were live on the air and the feeling in the studio was electric! “Live By Request” was an A&E series where the audience at home would call the performer, live on the air and request a song. And if the artist didn’t know that song, someone else would get a chance until the performer would get to play the request.

Luckily, my band and I knew all the requests so we had a ball.

My guests were Jose Feliciano and Cyndi Lauper and they were terrific.

If you haven’t seen this show, I know you’re going to love it. And if you have, you’ll love it again!

Have a great holiday, my friends, stay well and happy and I’ll see you next year!

All my love,
Barry
