It’s certainly not news that the music of Barry Manilow has been an inspiration to me for five years. But every so often, even after having heard a song dozens of times, my head or perhaps it’s my heart, leads me to a place that allows the lyrics to create a profound need for reflection and soul searching.

Though I’ll selfishly always miss my frequent trips to Las Vegas to see the one and only Barry Manilow, I am thrilled by the well deserved positive pre and post reviews he’s getting from publications all over the country as he takes his show on the road and travels here and there. More ›
So often the news we read and hear is nothing but negative, sad and unnerving, dragging us down before the day even begins. More ›
The first time I was introduced to the talents of Barry Harris was in October of 2009, when he performed at a private reception, where where Barry Manilow - prior to his show at the Hollywood Bowl, the proceeds of which benefited the Manilow Music Project and the GRAMMY Foundation - presented the Los Angeles Unified School District with much needed funds to purchase instruments to children whose music programs are being compromised due to budget cuts.

I have no doubt Omaha, in the fine state of Nebraska is a lovely city, but I can’t say I’ve ever had a hankering to visit, up until today that is!

I knew lyricist, Enoch Anderson’s brilliant work via his collaborations with Barry Manilow over the years on many of his beautiful and thought provoking songs. In January 2011, as hints surfaced about “15 Minutes” the new, original album Barry Manilow was in the process of creating - his first in ten years - we learned that it was Mr. Anderson’s words being set to music and I was struck with the idea to interview him for this site. It seemed to me many people would be fascinated to learn about the man and the creation process of the album we were all looking forward to. More ›
