Music People. People who need people. Are the luckiest people in the world. Now, I thought about simply quoting Barbus Drizan lyrics for the entire five minutes, but at the insistence of my wife quickly changed my mind. I did say wife. We've been happily married for 23 years. We have a son who's a senior in high school. By the way, he's grateful he's a way at a golf tournament in Flagstaff tonight. But if you can't tell from the slides or you can't tell from the program, I adore Barbara. Now, if you're over 40, you probably know Barbara as the Tony Emmy Grammy and Oscar winning singer and actress. This is you. Let me see your hands. Well, noise. There you go. Good. If you're under 40, you know her as the crazy sex therapist mom of Ben Stiller and Meet the Falkers. Is that you? Okay. Now, look, I like all kinds of music. I've seen Arrow Smith some 41 in Garth Brooks three times in concert. My son will once again be happy he's not here when I tell you that I took him to see in sync at the age of six. So I'm all over the musical map, but Barbara is different. All right, maybe I'm different. All my longtime friends at know of my undying devotion to Barbara just think I'm a goofball. I'm used to being alone on this. In fact, not one single male friend or acquaintance shares even the tiniest bit of my passion for Barbara. That's all right. I don't mind. You know, my devotion is never ending. And knowing that musical taste is subjective, I still say Barbara Streisand is the greatest female singer of all time. Now, it started for me when I was 16. It's 1977 at my aunt's house going through her albums and I found this wide album. No, not that one. Barbara Streisand live at the forum. Recorded in 1972. It was, you know, it was awesome. And she was funny. She was naughty. And her voice was incredible. I know the lyrics to every song on that album. In fact, it's really my official start of my love affair. Now a few years later, I met my wife to be. By luck or destiny, she too was a huge Barbara fan. And she's also a movie freak. And she introduced me to my all time favorite movie, What's Up Doc? If you haven't seen it, you must. It's a screwball comedy written by Buck Henry, starring Barbara, and a young, studly Ryan O'Neill. That's my wife's words. And it's set in San Francisco in a particularly romantic scene takes place in a restaurant under construction high top of hotel. Now my wife and I went to San Francisco on a trip in 1985 and we had dinner on reuse at the top. And we felt like we'd been there before and sure enough, it was the exact same restaurant where Ryan and Barbara had filmed that scene. We were mere feet from the spot. Awesome. But wait, there's more. There's more. My wife's sister worked for Betmilla for years as a personal assistant. Now is during this time that Barbara hosted a $5,000 seat concert for charity on her Malibu Ranch for 500 Hollywood dignitaries. Bet was invited and the invitation arrived in a decorative autographed tin. Inside the tin was a cassette tape with Barbara's personal invitation. My sister-in-law asked Bet for the tin and she in turn gave it to me. Awesome. Now if I had to list the high points of my life, number one would be the birth of our son. It simply can't be topped. Number two, Yankee Stadium, 1998, being there for Game One of the World Series when Tony Gwyn went yard, I thought I was going to faint. And in fact, our son's middle name is Anthony in honor of Tony. Now number three would be seeing Barbara live in Vegas just edging out my wedding day at number four. Awesome. I'm pretty sure she knew that, right, honey? We never thought we'd get a chance to see her live and then the impossible happened. Barbara, never a fan of performing in front of people, decided to do two comeback concerts in Las Vegas New Year's 1994. We battled the phone lines for hours. We actually obtained four cheap seats at $500 each. That's true, true story. It was a magical night. I mean, even in early 50s, Barbara astounded us with her incredible voice. In fact, as we left the theater that night, we looked at each other smile just knowing we had shared a once in a lifetime experience. Not true, not true. Barbara did 10 shows in Anaheim that summer. We caught two more. Awesome. So let me leave you with this. Go see, give Yantala a chance. It's her labor of love. Thank you. Go see what's up Doc. It's very funny. And also, listen to starting here starting now. And Marvel is the piano. Climes the scale to hit a note that Barbara holds for what seems an eternity. Maybe you won't think I'm the goofball you thought I was five minutes ago. Thank you and good night.
