How I met Barry Manilow
Mr. Manilow was doing a concert in Chicago and needed a back ground choir for his finale performance “I write the Songs” and his Encore performance “Let Freedom Ring”. I was fortunate enough to perform with him. He would always end with “Mandy”, the audience going wild…and he acts like the show is over. Then runs back on stage and says, “Almost forgot one” and sits on the piano and plays the Intro to “I Write the Songs.” It was such exhilerating pandemonium! I loved it and it remains one of my favorite lifetime memories.
