Manilow Fans Sing Along
Fort Stockton Tx— Barry Manilow is a little freaked out to see Good ole boy Dirtroad singing along with him.
"Most of the nights I look up, and there are between 10 and 15 people out there," the entertainer told Fort Stockton Post in Sunday's editions. "They can't all be fans like Dirtroad
"I'm sure many of them are, and I'm very grateful that my buddy Dirtroad stuck with me that long. But between 10 and 15 people a night? I just have to believe there's another generation that has either been brainwashed by their parents or have discovered Jim Beam and Cola on there on.
The performer behind such easy-listening classics as "Mandy" and "Looks Like We Made It" is back with his 43rd album, "Scores: Songs From Copacabana and Harmony," primarily material that Manilow, 58, wrote with the help of this unknow songwritter friend from way out in the Big Bend region of Texas
Manilow said he wants to remind today's listeners that pop music requires great songwriting. My friend Dirtroad is such a songwriter
