After listening to this very intimate performance, I thought a lot about the magic of storytelling — the storyteller’s magic. And, what draws us all to it. To listen. To partake. To share in the magic of it: the dance between listener and teller.

In this evening’s performance (at the Village Vanguard), all had come for that: and the storyteller toned the tales; and, quietly, the listeners came to listen.

Soon after, while walking along the beach, along the Pacific here in Los Angeles, I thought how is it that Barbra Streisand has done so many songs, so many films, so many projects yet she hasn’t brought her storyteller’s craft to narrate books: audio books?

I hope some evening to walk along the coast here in Los Angeles — as I do, often — and, with earphones in, listen to her storyteller’s craft. Maybe it could be a favorite tale she’s heard? Maybe it could be one she’s brought forth all of her own making?

She’s a tale weaver. She’s a storyteller.

I wanna hear more.

Miss Streisand...you are sublime!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am 18 years old and i have enchanted with you...........i really love you!!!!!

I live in Greece,Athens.....If you do concerts in London or Paris,or Rome,Madrid,Berlin......wherever.......I ABSOLUTELY will come to see and hear you live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please organize a tour!!!!!!!

This DVD was an absolute joy. It has become my Sunday nite entertainment. Helps me cope with the upcoming work week.

Dear Barbra:
Bravo is all I can say. My daughter gave me this wonderful DVD/CD for Mothers Day. I was just able to sit down and watch it Sunday evening. I felt like I was right there in the room with you. Your song choices were wonderful. I shed a few tears. You are just amazing. I know you have always said that Judy Garland was the legend, I think you are selling yourself short. I loved Judy also, but would listen to you first anyday.

I have been following your career since 1964 and have all of your albums, casettes, cd's, VHS and now DVD. I would not miss owning one of them. My dream came true when at last I was able to see you live in LA for your Timeless Concert. I hope you will perform again in New York in a venue such as the Village Vanguard, as I would love the opportunity to see you live again.

From a true fan, and another Barbara

Thank you again

Barbara,
I would like to thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with us these many years. Your voice has been an instrument of joy and delight to our ears. May God continue in His magnificent grace to bless you and keep you in all that you do.
Bless you.

This is my third try to post and save my post seems to keep getting lost. I received my copy of "One Night Only" today. I was spellbound as I watched it I loved the intimate setting and the song choices and Barbra was so relaxed and at ease with the audience. I loved the song choices. I love how Barbra never sings a song the same way twice. She is always the actress playing a part and not a robot each performance was truly incredible. Ms. Streisand, I just want to let you know I am a life long fan and due to an accident I now suffer from RSD which is chronic pain disorder in my ankle. I just want you to know that when I listen to your music or watch your movies everyday it takes my mind off my pain for the time I'm listening or watching. You are an American treasure and a true artist of the first order who gives her all so effortlessly. I ordered several copies of the DVD/CD for friends and for my Mother for Mothers day. I know they will all love it as much as I do. Thank you for bringing so much joy and happiness into my life and taking away my debilitating pain for many hours each day.
Best Always,
Jeffrey Freedman

Barbra Streisand was unbelievably wonderful at the Village Vanguard! She also looked dazzling in her stunning sparkly outfit!!!!
I would also like to say because it is the 24th........ HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARBRA!!!!! I bet you look beautiful as ever!!!! I hope you have a spectacular day!!!

I'm one of the many who entered the competition to see this concert in the Village. Sad to miss out, but would have been a bit expensive to come from Australia anyway (but I would have happily done it). Can't wait for the CD x

You have the most beautiful voice. The lyrics go to the soul..I have always loved you, you truly do make people happy. Your voice, your grace and ease take all the stress in my day away. Thank you.

Would have loved the oportunity to see Barbra doing this concert, but as I live in the UK was not allowed to enter for the tickets, also not aloud to pre order the album. Real shame. But Im sure it was magical.

Peace Can Happen

Everyone, especially our leaders, must realize how important it is to satisfy entropy requirements as well as energy requirements for any endeavor. This is well known for all technical projects but it is not applied to work that people do. Human beings can not do the programs that scientists did in the early 20th Century because the "user friendly" environment of programs like Windows requires more than humans can supply. We can get numbers to prove this.

To illustrate let's consider nutritional requirements for people. Does the food given our troops give them the capability to do their job? How about astronauts? How about people in general, including computer users? Discussion without numbers cannot answer these questions, but the numbers can be obtained using established methods. Any elementary thermodynamic text will describe how. There is no question that we will find that we are running short in everything we do. Food rations for troops, astronauts and people in general only consider energy requirements. It is almost impossible for the entropy requirements to be satisfied if it is not even considered.

Now comes the important part that shocks everyone. When the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics for people, as they get more and more control of our environment, is properly satisfied, peace will come to the world. The rich will demand more welfare for the poor because they can make much more money in the predictable world that will result. The Jews, Christians, and Muslims will help each other and the hate and killing will stop when they realize that they are losing many billions by what they now do. Let’s just get the numbers. OK?

you once told rosie"less is more"so simple and sweet,"THANKS"

I'm so sorry I missed it. I love her music and to actually get an invite to such an event would have made my lifetime. You guys are a lucky group.

I was a college student at Fairleigh Dickinson University and visited the club when Barbara performed. I cannot remember the song(s) she sung....but she was very young like us and it was magical.....I still remember that she performed there....my recollection of the place is vague....wasn't it a downstairs club?

Reading about her return engagement there last year was wonderful....it brought back some great memories of the times and her voice....absolutely perfection.

Thanks so much for continuing to perform....marvelous and always faithful

i really don't know what i liked better

I saw the few clips they released. This DVD is going to be a masterpiece. I only wish I was there. What an amazing way to hear Barbra perform, in an intimate setting as opposed to arenas. It must of been the experience of a lifetime.

I am going to buy the DVD/CD deluxe package. I only wish it were out today.

abfab, can't wait for the dvd, (I always call my fave barbra song mixes ; ' A Lot Of B.S.!' is that funny or wot? (I'm sure La S. can laugh bout it!)

I was there that night and it was amazing. I was sitting just behind Bill Clinton (who LOVED my red jacket) and Barbra was in a straight line right in front of me. I was so calm that night because I knew I belonged there.
Barbra in front of me was a PERSON, flesh and blood... and I enjoyed that tremendously! A regular citizen of this planet with the most extraordinany talent. But just like you and me, with dreams and hope for this world we live in. And very much involved in making it better.
I sent a long email to Shelley Lazar about that evening which I hope she sent to Barbra as she promised to do.
I felt very blessed to be part of history at the Vanguard.
Barbra, my friend, I thank you and hope to someday have a nice chat with you. No pictures. No autographs. Just like friends...

Michel Filion in Montreal (your cup thief....)
P.S. Ne me quitte pas... You proved once again what a formidable actress you are. Even Nicole Kidman was mesmerized...

I'm waiting with baited breath for this dvd to be released. Does anyone know what the date will be?

I would have given anything to be there!

i have again healthy stress moments because i can not wait to see this new DVD release of Barbra's live performance in the Vanguard from 2009, which from i saw some video clips and they are amazing,great and Barbra sounds and looks marvelous, simply said : she's still nr. 1 ! maybee the release is in March , that would be a top-present for my birthday than , hehe...... greetings to all xx

Couldnt have given some of your fans a greater present!

I was watching the 2006 concert where you (Barbra) sang stony end and ask what is a stony end anyway?
I know Barbra will never read this, but I wanted to tell her and hope she knows how much she has helped me and others in our lives with her songs and works.
Barbra with that song you helped bring me back from that very thing a stony end. I had no memoires of it, though my mother said I set on her lap and watched you when you had your TV specials, I was very close with my mother, she told me I was the only thing that kept her alive after the death of my older sister that died during a heart surgery in Dec 22nd 1960 she was 2 months pregnant with me. I was born July 26th 1961 and she always told me God gave me to her when she needed a reason to live, I guess God sent your songs to me when I needed help to go on. I guess (I was born from love, and my poor mother worked the mines) she was a very hard worker so in a way you would say she worked the mines, people referred to there jobs as the salt mines in those days. We were close till I reached the age of 10 she tot me how to love be loved how to trust and be trusted how to be kind and take kindness how to be strong for myself and others, How to work for things you want for yourself and for others and that life is not given to you it is something you work on form the first day your born the last day you are alive. And you tot me how to embrace all the thing she instilled in me as a child, and how to forgive her for what she did. I lost my mother not physically but emotionally around my 10th birthday, I never called her mother again I called her by her name the rest of her life. It was because of a fishing trip I went on with my fathers nephew, my cousin he was my hero, I could not have loved him anymore if he was my own father he took me places and did things with me a father should have done, but my father was not there for me physically or emotionally he was working or fishing, The fishing trip was one no 10 year old or any age should have went through. It was 3 days of a 36 year old man trying to molest me; I hid from him I slept under the car one night in the woods the other nights. He never got to do what he wanted to do God helped me through it I know that all I could do was pray for his help to make me strong.The first thing I did was set down and tell my mother at the kitchen table what happened, She said and I Quote “ He slept with women and he was drinking” at that very moment my mother the one I loved and trusted with all my heart died. And what was left was just a woman walking around in her body. The only thing my father ever did with me was take me to church so (I was raised on the good book Jesus till I read between the lines) and there were so many times I thought (now I don’t believe I want to see the morning) other then church he took me fishing and that was forever ruined [So my Dad and I had nothing but work, I worked with him as a painter and carpenter as I got older] My mother and father divorced when I was 11 she took me my older and younger sisters, my mother and I had physical fights I felt like I had to protect my sisters from the world and my mother, she even went as far as to try and stab me with a knife at the age of 11. My dad took use from her in the same year, I did not trust anyone anymore, my mother never told my dad about what had happened and why we were at war, because come to find out she was having an affair with the guy that tried to molest me, she ended up marrying him when I was 12, That was the end for me their was no turning back, I stared to run the streets smoking, drinking, going wild and sleeping around at the age of 12 till 16 with the thought that nobody was going to tell me anything or make me do anything ever again So started my way (Going down the stony end I never wanted to go down the stony end, momma let me start all over cradle me momma cradle me again) I was this guy (I can still remember him with love light in his eyes, but the light flicked out and parted as the sun began to rise, now I don’t believe I want a see the morning, going down the stony end I never wanted to go down the stony end, momma let me start all over, cradle me momma cradle me again) and there was many mornings I did not want to see, because somewhere during those nights I felt loved, I was wanting to be loved and I thought I would never find anyone that would love me, or I could trust. I did not speak to my mother form the time I was 11 when my Dad took use back till I was 15 and that is when she had the nerve to try and say her husband was my real father. That was all I need to fall off the edge (Never mind in the forecast cause the sky has lost control, cause the fury of the broken thunders has come to match my raging soul, now I don’t believe I want to see the morning, going down the stony end I never wanted to go down the stony end momma let me start all over) my Dad told me it was not true and even accounted for my cousins whereabouts’ when I was conceived. A friend brought a big bag of 45 records that was given to her when I was about to turn 17, we set around playing them all day,for some reason my sister and friend left as I pulled out Stony End to play, I was all alone as I sit and listened to you sing my life to me, I had never heard it before and like I said I set on my mothers lap and watched you on TV. It brought back so much I cried setting there all alone playing it over and over all the time wanting my mother to (Cradle me Momma Cradle me again, going down the stony end I never wanted to go I never wanted to go never wanted to go momma I never wanted to go) I have thought what would have been, if, JUST IF? But you can not live your life with IF's. So the Stony End for me was going down the wrong path full of fire and brimstone down the road to hell because I felt I was in hell this is my interruption of a Stony End. But you put it in prospective for me with just a song, I guess I had to go through all I went through to understand the words you sang, and it happened at just the right time, God or whatever anyone believes in sent your song to me before it was to late. I became a believer in you that day through my tears for my life I had never shed, you helped me shed them your song let me know it was alright to cry for myself, for things I will never have in my life again. And I turned my life around, I bought your records and tried to mold myself to them, I wanted to be that man you sang about with all the people in my life, I always wanted to be a father, to be the Dad I never had, I became a father at 22 and he was taken from me right after he was born because my sons Grandfather on his mothers side thought I was not what he wanted in his family. I was lost and went back to running around drinking and just being wild, but your songs helped me through this as well, then I met my wife at the age of 23 after going through s few relationships that did not end well, I still could not give all my heart. My wife had 2 children from a previous marriage both boys and I feel god sent her to me the youngest had my name Christopher, I love the boys and 3 granddaughters with all my heart and soul, and I tell them so every time I see them or talk to them on the phone, being a parent is the most Incredible experience you can have, and being a grand parent shows you what you did right with your children, as well as what you did wrong, it kind of gives you a second chance to set things right that you did wrong with your children. I tried to be the best husband and father I could be. I fell short of the best husband I just could not give my wife all she needed, but she had been molested when she was young and I could not give her all the help she needed, all I could do was be there for her and listen to her when she decided to tell me everything that happened to her, I tried to tell her she should talk to a Doctor, because I know I could not hear all the details she needed to say out loud for the first time ever and still be a husband to her, it made me shy away from our love life knowing everything, not because of her but because of what happened to her. I like to think that by being there for my wife and letting her tell me everything helped her with her next relationship and I hope she is very happy now. And like I said there was a part of my heart I keep away from everybody other then my children and Grandchildren. That is where your songs (My Heart Belongs to Me) and (Songbird) Came into my life, I realized I will always love my mother for what she was and did for me before I lost her at the age of 10, the song hit me where I lived, knowing I would always have that part of my heart nobody would ever have again, I could never show total love and trust for a woman even though it is what I felt for them, I could necer let them know it. after many attempts at relationships that left me in pieces, I felt there must be something wrong with me, I could not give the women I loved through my life all my Heart, I guess it all goes back to my mother, and that is where your song (Mother: you had me but I never had you so I have to tell you goodbye) Came into my life, I felt you sang it for me to help set me free. I know you didn’t sing it for me but it was what I needed at the time I needed freedom from my feelings, and that song helped give it to me. My brothers and sisters cried when my mother and later when my Dad died they came to me for comfort forwhen my mother passed away, They wanted a viewing but she was going to be cremated and no funeral, I had to call the funeral home to make arrangements for them to have there viewing. But I had to talk to her husband the guy that made me go through all I went through, he set up a viewing for my siblings. I had one question for him and it was why? Why did all this happen, we talked for a wile and I got the answers, only then could I forgive him and my mother, I only wish I could have told her I forgave her before she died. I longed for that feeling of love when you lose a mother or a father, but I guess I will never have it now, I had some for my father but not like my siblings did. I guess I grieved for my mother when I was 10 and I never was close to my Father or brothers because of what happened. I told my father about what happened when I was 21 and guess what he said? He said what I need my mother to say so many years ago, he would have done something about it kicked his butt and sent him to prison, all the lost time I could have had my Dad, but this did not happen until a couple of years before I move from Kansas to California, we never had much of a chance to really have a relationship other then on the phone, I called him once a month and 2 to 3 times a week in the last months before his death, Our last conversation a few days before he went into a comma and died was, he told me
'Chris I love you with all my heart " I can still hear him saying it as clear as when he told me that day. I told him Dad I love you with all my heart. Saying it for the first time out loud to really anyone sense I was a child, I told my mother that very thing many times before the age of 10. I only seen my Dad 3 time in the 22 years I lived in CA. before he died on July 25th 2007 a few hours before my birthday and my mother died on July 28th 2000 just after midnight one day and 1/2 after my birthday, my birthday as I said at the beginning is on July 26th, I guess it is funny in some way, or maybe more in the lines of Ironic to have them both pass away so close to my birthday. I guess I will never have a problem knowing the dates they died. and the hole that was left. All the years of trying to have some kind of relationship with my mother, all the things that happened through the years sense I was 10 I guess I forgot what it felt like to lose a mother you truly loved with all your heart. I am sorry for going on so, I did try to cut out many things that happened to me or it would be a novel. I know you like to read but you like to read more interesting things then my life story.
I hope to hear you sing for many more years to come; because music is the one thing that can reach so many people, the song (With one more look at you) I feel with one more song from you every day I can make it through this life. Your songs really touch people and help them go on with life. These are only a few of your songs that rang true through my life. Never ever think of yourself as a singer you’re a role model, friend, mother, healer with song, and a wonderful person that made the world better because you are in it. I know you do not like to sing as much as other people like to hear you do it, but just remember, you helped save my life when I was young with your words, and gave me my children and grandchildren, because if I had never took the time and was alone in that room to really listen to the words you sang, I would have did or went to God knows where. You have helped so many others go on with there lives as well not only by your wonderful foundation but with your songs, movies and beliefs. I hope I do not come off as a nut or an over the top fan, but you ask the Question “what a Stony End is anyway?” I may be a few years late in telling you but keep singing the songs that get people through there ruff times. I know I will never meet or speak with you but I had to let you know what you mean in my life I can't say thank you enough and I Love you with all my heart, for the peace you have given me through the years. Jason is so lucky to have you as a mother, someone that would never forsake him and will be there for him the rest of their life and beyond. I hope you get this to file away for a time you may feel a little down, And I could have help you in some way. I know you must have herd many things like this before from people but it is true for them and for me. You know I never really cried for my mother from the age of 10 till now and I am 48 there has been 38 years of my life I never shad really a tear for her, that is until I set down and wrote this letter to you

Thank you with all my heart…
Yours Truly

I just finished watching the concert on Austar in Australia and was blown away by it. Her voice is ageless and is as beautiful and strong as ever. Her emotive quality and ability to connect with the audience is spell binding. I am so very glad I was privileged to get a chance to see it. I enjoyed it so very, very much. What a wonderful Christmas present!

Hello Barbara, I just wanted to tell you that I have enjoyed your Movies and Music for years. I wanted to thank You for MANY hours of enjoyment in my life.. When I was raising my three daughters every Sat they would wake up to your Music and our Sat morning would start with dancing and singing; all three of the Girls, now grown, say that everytime they hear your music it brings back those fun days!! So Thank You and have a wonderful Holiday!!!

While Practicing for our Gaduation into High School. I Remember Mrs. Davie, ( Our Swing Choir Director ), Stopping everyone from Singing as I had Closed my Eyes and Sang Memories . If anyone has every Seen the Movie "Little Voice", and I'm sure you have. I am very Frightened to Appear on Stage . However after the First few Words come out, I seem as if I leave my Body and I am one with the Music . I've always lacked Self Confidence. So as I have done most my Life, I declined Performing "Memories" in front of our Graduating Class. I have been in Band's, Won many Award's, Sang at so very many Funeral's and Wedding's. However; Performing for Charitable Event's has been the only Time I have Sang in the last Several Years. I lost My Significant as well as my Mom within one Year . Although I always Felt as if Music was the best Tonic and the Biggest Part of my Life. I now know that People are our most Prized Cargo we have in this Life. The only exception to this Rule is God for me. When I am so down that I Feel as if I can't go on any longer by myself . I put Babs on and her Voice and Words in all her Music, "Lifts me so high, I have to Look down to See Heaven" . While Reading her Biography; I was so amazed on how much we have in common . However, She is an absolutely amazing Human Being that deserves the utmost Respect for all she has done in her Life . I have Spent so many Evenings Praying someday I may See Her if only outside an Auditorium . Her Son whom is so Humble and yet amazing himself. I remember my Mom always being there for every Surgery from Football to what ever . I am a Male Performer. However when my Significant and I would have a Dinner Party, I would Perform Mrs. Streisands Song's . My Significant loved to Hear and Watch me Perform. I have been doing Mrs. Streisand all my Life in a Room the Size of a Bathroom when no one was Home. The Song "Not While I'm Around" was one of my Moms Favorite. I Sang to my Mom as she Slipped away. I was unable to keep my Promise to Sing at her Funeral. This is something I will forever Regret. Please Forgive me if I have not made much Since. I've been quite Emotional while Writing this . I only Ask that everyone who Reads this to do one thing. Don't ever allow one Day to go by without Telling the People you know and Love, how very much they mean to you and how much you care and love them. I lost my Love and most my Life in a matter of Hour's to an Accident after a wonderful Seventeen Years . What once was a Life of Joy and a Home the Resignated with such Noise and Laughter, is now Empty and so very Lonesome. I Believe that Suzie Oreman puts the following in such great perspective. People first, then Money, then Material things. Now you be Safe. Peace Be With You All . Mrs. Streisand has helped me through some of the worse Times of my Life . I've Burried my Parent's, my Significant, I've made my Coffee . Thank you . Mr. Danial Patrick Teeling +

I had been really down in the dumps this year for Christmas.
I was in CVS and there was a album of yours at the checkout counter.
It was your Chritmas one. I played it over and over again. I started to cry.
I am sad this year. But you gave me strength to be happy again. Everytime I am
upset I play your album. You have a beautiful voice.
I just wanted to wish you and your a family Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
you probabaly wont be able to read this knowing you have so much mail.
But you are a special girl with that voice that is so great.
I know everyone wants to meet you. i would just like a note back saying you go this and you are good.if you did read this thanks for taking the time.
love marisa

I wish I could meet Barbra Streisand............just once in my lifetime at least! I want to be a broadway star just like she was, when I grow up. ( I am 12) I have LOVED Barbra Streisand since I was an infant............. really!!!!!!!! : ) In my crib when I was born, my mom played her music for me! In those Oprah shows, you always see all these people getting to have their dreams come true on T.V.! Well I wish just once MY dream would come true....... meeting her. My nose is big also........... (or so people are always telling me.) So...... I understand what it must have been like for her all those years with people making fun of her and all! (Her nose isn't big at all!) Barbra......... if you're out there somewhere and you can read this....... please do: I think you are the most gorgeous person who ever walked the planet..... and true too!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) I LOVE BARBRA STREISAND....... SHE IS TRULY THE BIGGEST LEGEND IN HISTORY......... (in my book anyway!!!!!!!!!!!) : )

Is it possible to actually send a letter of gratitude to Ms. Streisand?

Please release your entire performance on DVD.

You sound great and the songs are outstanding . . . .

As I live in Buenos Aires Argentina it would be a once in a lifetime dream to see Miss -Streisand perform, but I would need time to react a get myself to the USA etc
If it´s programmed could you tell me if when her next performances are going to be ( I know they are rare)
God bless

Barbra:

Listening again to "Love is the Answer" as I write. Wonderful! I'm hoping that we'll get to hear another Barbra and Dianna Krall collaboration again. What magic you've made! You've played the Vagaard in the Village again, how about the Razz Room at Hotel Nikko in San Francisco? An intimate venue too, but closer to home. Imagine your reception in the Bay Area. Wishful thinking, I know, but that's what we're famous for up here in the fog belt on the outskirts of Oz.

Thanks so much,
Steve W

I logged on, under the appearance of being able to watch the Vanguard Footage, but was unable to. This isn't fair. Please take a listen to what I'm doing. Ms. Streisand was a major influence of mine, and though I don't think I sound anything like her, I think that we are in the age of the Woman, and strong women singers like the Lena Horne's and the Eartha Kitt's of yesterday should have a voice again. Here is my link to my Jazz is page.
Thank you,
Sylvia Brooks
PS The day I was in the studio, I lost my Saxophone player to Ms. Streisand at Capitol Records. But he came in the morning to play the lead track on this song, Harlem Nocturne.
It is one of the downloads of the day.

Oh! How I wish I could have been there... I've been a fan of Barbra's ever since the first song I listened (Guilty), in the Seventies. She is "the perfect artist", but even so, she keeps getting better and better! I wonder if there's gonna be a CD and/or a DVD of this show for the poor unlucky ones who could not be there! Thank you. Love. Grazia

sorry Barbra but i have been a fan from long time ago Yes a Long time ago and say that that fans from around the world had a chance to be at the vagaurd is just rubbish I was not allowed to send in an entry because i am a scot and not from north america

Four Words...
The Way We Were
I will one day sing for Barbra, Oprah & the world
I have entered my video into Oprah's Karaoke Challenge Contest
If I would be one of the winners, I could stand on the very stage that
Barbra Streisand performed on only weeks ago.
Barbra it would be a pleasure, an honor and a dream come true to meet you
and thank you in person for sharing with me... your voice, your gift and your inspiration.
You are the one lady in this world that keeps me going and chasing my dream.

I am hoping that Barbra will perform for us ordinary people who have always loved her singing. How about at the Vilar Center!!!!!????!!!!

Got the album! Love it just like everything Barbra does! Great interview on CBS sunday Morning on 9/27 and article on the NY Times! See you three times but I wish I was there! I was delighted to hear the Bill, Hilllary, and Chelsea were there as well as "my girl" SJP. As always, Barbra has outdone herself. It's now on my Zune and have listened to it about 15 times by now. My favorite song is "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most", which is a GREAT song that I've been listening to since the casette tape set "For the Record" came out (of course I now have it also on CD and on my Zune).
By the way...my girl's name is Sara Jessica Parker (not Park). She had a great episode reminising of the song and last seen of the movie "The Way We Were" on Sex and the City (last Episode Season 2). What can be a better combination and treat for fans of both Ms. Streisand and SJP???
Congratulations on being the first artist ever to have a #1 Album in five different decades! Another testimony of your talent!

I was looking foward to the footage of Barbra's Vanguard appearance...what happened?
I'm still furious that I didn't win a ticket...my dog Oula-la is way cuter than that mut who won...oh well the good news is Love is the Answer is #1!!!!!!!!! I love the simple music,instead of a flashy orchestra,I mean I love an orchestra but have never heard Barbra sound like this and I love it!!!

Mrs. Streisand

I am writing to you tonight after lossing my Mother from a sudden heart attack a week ago. Growing up your music was a big part of her life as well as ours (my two sisters and myself). I read about your support of Cardiovascular Research and would like to say that although my mother did survive a stroke almost 20 years ago her heart problems caught up with her. Although her funeral was the saddest day of our lives your words bring a continued connection to her. If you ever do perform another concert I can asure you the three of will be there because of the impact your music has brought to my family.

Thanks
Nathan

p.s. mother you will never be forgotten.....

I don't undertand nothing¡¡
In anyway I'm very disappointed, not with Barbra, but with many people around her
Love,
Albert xoxo

I'm sure I can still see her sing for all his legion of fans in Brazil. kisses and is always happy
