Coming out of the Closet

Yes, I have a secret passion. A love that dare not speak it's name.

I am a Barry Manilow fan.

There. It's out in the open.

It all started in my youth when my youngest sister fell in love with Barry. She had all of his albums. I knew all the words and sang along. I took my sister to a concert or two.

During my years in rock'n'roll radio, I kept my love tucked away deep in my heart. Then eleven years ago, I moved to soft rock radio and was able to adore Barry openly. I even went with my sisters to his farewell concert last year. We had eleventh row seats and it was an awesome show. Other than the screaming hordes of pre- and post-menopausal women, the only bad thing about the evening was Barry grinding his hips to "Somewhere in the Night." Eeewww.

Favorite Barry album: This One's for You

Top Five Barry songs: I Am Your Child, Riders to the Stars, Jump Shout Boogie, Even Now and
I Don't Want to Walk Without You.

If you spend your life worrying about what others think of you, you're going to waste a lot of time doing things you don't enjoy. Be a dork and be proud!
