I first found Barry in 1995 when he sang on the Miss USA pageant. I did not know who he was at the time, but I was captured right at that moment. I went out and bought the Singing with the big bands CD, and loved it. Then I went and got the boxed set thinking that I would not need anything else, boy was I wrong. :) I am a younger Barry fan compared to most, BUT I am a huge lover of Barry and his music. I have a massive collection that is actually on my home owners insurence because it is worth so much money. My license plates in Virginia say MANILOW. I have seen him 15 times so far and plan to go to Vegas later this year to see him again. I did have the great oportunity to meet Barry in 1997 in Richmond, VA after a show. It was the best day of my life. He is a true gentleman and a sweetheart at that, and may I also add that he smells wonderful, kind of a combination of cologne and manly seeat! LOL! If anyone wants to talk Barry, send me a message and I will be glad to talk. - Sarah :)

Got your email. Isn't Barry just the best. Bet you were thrilled! Fun to meet in a less "staged" place. I'm very impressed with your media list. Where do you keep everything? I'd have to build on! LOL I surprised you could collect so many things in a short time.

I've been a Barry friend since I saw him sing Mandy on Bandstand.1974 I think. I really liked him and followed his music, watched when I knew he was on TV. But I had started a new job, my Dad had just passed away and Mom & I were just trying to adjust & survive. So it was probably 1988 before I got intense about Barry! I've seen 8 concerts. Never met him. Still hoping tho! I live in a small town(Monticello) in northern IN. Home of Indiana Beach. Have always lived here--57 yrs. Yikes! I'm single. No kids. Love cats and dogs. But do not have any right now. Worked for 33 yrs in accounting for the local school corp. Took early retirement a few yrs ago.
How about you? What do you do? Family? Hobbies--other than Mr. B of course! :)
