Barbra Streisand at the Barclays Center




Saturday night my daughter and I were treated to Barbra Streisand.  And what a treat!  The Barclays Center is amazing and Barbra.....well.......spectacular....to say the least!!!!  Barbra Streisand has been my idol since I was a teenager.  I have always wanted to see her in concert but never have.  So when my friend called me and said "you are going to see Barbra Streisand!!!" I could not believe it.
First we had the most delicious dinner at the 40/40 Club.  Jay Z,  you know how to rock  a restaurant.  (And thank you Bruce Ratner and Jay Z for bringing the Nets and this beautiful venue to Brooklyn!)   As we walked into the restaurant we were all served champagne. The 40/40 Club is absolutely beautiful with big screen televisions throughout.  Of course they were playing scenes from Barbra Streisand movies (what a treat!)
Stations are set up throughout the restaurant.  One table for beef sliders, one for turkey burger sliders, one for crab sliders (I had the crab and it was soooo good!)  Stations for fish, potatoes, the most amazing macaroni and cheese that you will ever taste, lamb chops, steak, salads, chicken satay.......the list of dishes goes on and on.  Too many to mention!  Dessert.....the biggest red velvet cake I have ever seen.  And the tiniest cheesecake with the most delicious raspberry sauce drizzled throughout.  Then I ate the most decadent chocolate (brownie/fudge) with caramel sauce and I don't know what.....yum!!!!
As if the dining experience wasn't enough.  Then we walk into the most amazing arena that I have ever seen.......and the concert that I have been waiting for since I was a teen......BARBRA!!!!!!!
I have to say that I felt like I was in a reality television show.  It was surreal!!!  xoxo
 (Thank you David!)

Barbra Streisand and James Brolin

Barbra Streisand has been my idol for as long as I can remember.  I can listen to her sing for hours.  Her voice is very special.  There is no way I could even start to list all of the accomplishments of Barbra Streisand.  I have loved all of her movies.  If I have to name a favorite it would be  "A Star  Is Born" with Kris Kristofferson .  The beautiful song "Evergreen"  is from that movie.
 Barbra Streisand  has been married to James  Brolin  since 1998.
 I guess you never know what goes on behind closed doors but it certainly seems that these two really have something special.




BARBRA AND JAMES

THEY MET, THEY FELL IN LOVE...

"Don't wanna close my eyes, don't wanna fall asleep cos I miss you babe and I don't want to miss a thing..."
                                       (lyrics by Diane Warren)

"I thought love had passed me by, then we met..." Barbra







(It was after watching this interview, songwriter Diane Warren 
wrote the hit song for Aerosmith.)
How cool is that?
