A Barry Manilow quote

[a***@gmail.com]

so I belong to a bunch of Barry Manilow fan groups on FB. Don't judge me, it's fun. Anyhooooo, here's a quote from Mr M that was posted today. I cannot cite the source, if I had to guess I'd say it's from the autobio "Sweet Life"

Here it is:

"We are all a composite of those events and people that have been in our lives.
I am the sum total of Jeanne's determination, Bette's commitment, Marty's passion, Linda's gentleness, Bruce's integrity, Clive's brilliance, Garry's handsomeness (JOKING! What he actually said was "shrewdness"), Adrienne's taste, Nina's wisdom, Roberta's compassion, Gramma's warmth, my Mother's love, Grampa's sweetness, the support of strangers, and the music that was born within me."


if anyone knows the source, hop in.


Best,

Annie

It is the closing (Coda) of his book, right before the "nobody's going to save yourself" comment.

Annie, if you need a copy of the book, I have a paperback version I could send you. (you can't have my autographed hard copy. :-} )

oh, thank you so much, but I have a copy of the book somewhere in a bookcase upstairs. Not autographed. I bought a copy on Amazon a few years back. I don't think I ever finished reading it. I know! Worst Fanilow on the planet, right? I'll see myself out...…..

thank you for your offer though!

Best,

Annie
