Reply #22: I LOVE LOVE LOVE

Barry Manilow and I'm not ashamed to admit it (and no, I haven't been drinking, either!) I finally saw him in concert a couple of years ago when my son wanted to see him, and he was FANTASTIC! I don't think I've ever seen a better concert, and he was really wonderful with the audience. Kinda made me wish I could have slipped backstage afterwards, SIGH. (It was especially neat to see all those women in their forties and fifties going crazy over him, lol!)

I was ten years old when Mandy, his first hit, came out and I've been totally in love ever since, especially after Could it Be Magic, taken from my favorite Chopin piece. Okay, okay, I'll stop with the gushing teenage slop now, I am, after all, a dignified woman of almost forty. I'd give ANYTHING to meet him in person, though!
