Re: Barbra Streisand to Perform at New York's Fabled Village Vanguard For a Once-In-A-Lifetime Experience

I have registered to try to win a ticket for this concert. I would give the world to be there and be a part of history. A lifetime ago I went to the movies with friends and came out a changed man. The movie was of course Funny Girl. After the movie the very next day I went to several different record shops and bought every album that she had recorded. To say that the music changed my life is an understatement! Throughout anyone's life there is tragedy, sorrow, moments of joy. At each point in my life Barbra has been there for me. There is no greater therapy than music, when it is good it can touch the soul, heal a broken heart, extend great moments of pleasure. I wont bore you with my sorrow because we all have them. Its how we respond to them that sets us apart. At my moments of greatest sorrow, I could put on a Streisand piece and allow myself to revel my sorrow, go with the pain, with the confidence that She would always be there. Her music would give me comfort and joy. Since that time, I have not only bought each album she has recorded, many were replaced as many as four times. That doesn't include the tapes, and CDs. Today I own every album, and a copy of each on CD.
When I heard that she was going to retire I knew I had to go that concert in New York. To experience her live was a pleasure beyond belief. When she did the concert tour and came to Ft Lauderdale, I did what I had to do, to not only get tickets but good seats.
When I tell you I am not a rich man in money believe, but she has brought me such riches that I did what I had to do to buy the tickets. With the NY show I had to also fly to NY and spend the night, but again, whatever it takes.
I would do anything to experience Barbra in such an intimate venue. I don't know if you ever read these Barbra, but from the bottom of my heart I thank you for enriching my life with your beautiful voice.
