well maybe not famous, but rich. Well... maybe not even that rich. Still, my dad used to be manager for Marino De Silva back when he wasn't known. This is Marino with Barry Manilow:

And he's just won a grammy. Now he's asked my dad to be his executive producer again for a new Beatles album he's making. And as he's a multi-millionaire my dad said if it gets marketed right and it sells as well as his last album, he'll be marginally rich (thousands and thousands).

ITT: has anyone else ever had anything like this happen to their parents? Unexpected good luck that could turn them rich?

Hah, lucky bastard. That's really neat though, I'm sure you could edge that to get some great exposure for yourself if you're into the music industry, heh.

But anyways, congratulations. Nothing like that has really happened in my family, though.

Ha! Barry Manilow.

What a joke, so stupid and boring as Hell. So stupid, you couldn't pay me to go to one of his concerts. You know what I should do? I'm going to go to his concert just as a goof! It'd be hilarious, just looking at all of the idiots, the dumbass Manilow fans.

I mean, he's got like one good song. "Mandy"'s not terrible, the opening's okay. And I guess you can't hate "Copacabana" if you're in the right mood. "Daybreak" is a good song.

And I like "Weekend in New England". Yeah, it's a good one. "It Looks Like We Made It"? It's not too bad.

...

I LOVE BARRY MANILOW. He's the best! I have everything he has ever recorded! I have to go to that concert! I am going to that concert.

no silly that's not my dad, that's the person my dad's guna be executive producer of. I doubt he'll get any media coverage except for in the album names and when Marino talks about him. Also, Marino has 2 massive houses in LA and NY, and my dad knows him and his wife. Oh yeah, and marino's wife is a model (if anyone knows her name that would be great lol). He said he would get anywhere between 4 and 10 cents for each album sold, and they project 2 million will be sold. So if he gets 10, and they sell 2 million, he will get $200,000. Pretty good, but of course they could only give him 3 and then he'd only get $30,000, but as they're mates I think he'll give him about 6 :)

which one of the three guys is he?
oh, and, congratulations.

The only time we got good luck was a $500 gift card for online shopping, unfortunately, ALL shipping and handling had to be paid by us personally, and it was over the roof. The card had an expiration date too...
