Streisand Fans On the Streisand listserv, we have a growing community of fans who keep in constant touch about our favorite artist. We have dozens of people on the list, but here are a few who wish to introduce themselves. First, the fans I know of without pictures of themselves:

Hi, my name is Sue Ellen. I'm 18 years old and I live in Lima, Peru. I'm a huge, HUGE fan of Barbra; I really love her to death!!!!! It all began the day I found a Barbra picture in a magazine back in 1998, it was love at first sight and the madness gets better and bigger every day! Barbra is not only my idol, she's my goddess, my reason to live....unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of seeing her in a concert...but I dream about her every single day of my life....what else can I say about the greatest star on the world? Oh yes, well...I LOVE BARBRA!!!!!!! |
 My name is Irvan Azmier from Indonesia and I am 25 years old. I like Barbra very much. I've heard her songs since I was a child from my father's cassettes.
I don't know why her clear voice can touch and capture me on the first listen so deeply.
Until now, I've only collected 31 of 55 her albums because I have some difficulties to find her 60's and early 70's albums in Indonesia. My favourite album is
Songbird. It's very nice to join this mailing list and share some info about Barbra. |

Ann Barnes has been a great contributor to the Streisand fan list, as
have others below. She has a web page with an extensive Streisand
section, as well as other interests of hers. Check
it out! |
 My
name is Christy Yandek. I am 19 years old and originally hail from
Miami, Florida. (Don't look at me.... I had nothing to do with the
election.. I just voted for Gore! lol) Right now, I am a sophomore
at the University of Florida majoring in elementary education. I
love kids almost as much as I love Barbra! :) My love for Barbra
started in 1996 when I saw The Mirror Has Two Faces in the movie theater
with my mom and younger brother. The first glimpse of her in that
movie wearing that face mask, and I was gone! :) And from then on,
the rest is history...... |

 This is
me, Raubyn, saying “good-bye” to my Barbra stand-up right before
we left for her Las Vegas shows (Dec., 1993). "My true confession of
being a Barbra fan comes from the fact that every time, here in Tenneesee, we receive
'Tornado Warnings' - I round up all the critters in the house (four dogs and two birds)
and send them to our downstairs bathroom. The only other things I bring with me for
'protection' against the storm are my husband, Chip, and two bottles of 'Barbra champagne'
(from The Concert). We all sit in the bathroom while I fret about the rest of my
Barbra collection. Our house has yet to be hit by one of the many
tornados." :-) |
 My
name is Sarah Lynn Luna (email address londonere@webtv.net)
and I was born August 30, 1980. I’ve been a Barbra fan since November of 1994, when I
first saw The Concert on tv. I became hooked, and HAD to see all her movies, buy her
cd’s, and decorate my room with her pictures and posters. I think that becoming an
"obsessed Barbra fan" brought out a lot of good in me, it forced me to not care
what other people think, and to love standing out, to love being an individual. I always
wanted to be an actress, and watching Barbra’s career just intensified this desire.
Although her work has had an enormous effect on me, one of the things I’m most
thankful for is all of the friends she’s led me to. I’ve found that Barbra fans
are some of the greatest people in the world.

 Robert "Bob" Kane, San Francisco, CA --
I was born and grew up in the Bronx, NYC. Since December, 1978 I have lived in San
Francisco. I am 45 years old and I live with my partner Mark. We became Domestic Partners
last year on Valentine’s Day and we were married on August 2, 1997. I came to SF for
the freedom that exists here to be gay. There is no place like it. My last job was as a
Health Worker in an HIV clinic here in SF. I did that for 6 years until I had to go on
disability because of my AIDS diagnosis. I have been HIV+ for 16 years and I’ve had
an AIDS diagnosis for 8 years. My health is fine and I take really good care of myself. I
know telling people I have AIDS always brings up lots of questions, so feel free to write
me privately if you want to talk more about it. I would be happy to. I grew up on
Barbra’s music. My parents were huge Barbra fans. My dad died in 1993 from cancer. My
mom lives 45 minutes away and we went to see Barbra together in San Jose in 1994. I also
saw Barbra at the Inaugural Gala for President Clinton in 1993. My parents took me to see
“Funny Girl” when I was 15 and I got hooked! |
 Craig Dickson sent this
picture of himself and a Barbra cut-out to the list and had the following to say:
"I have been following Barbra’s career since for more
than 30 years, when I was involved in staging a live version of Barbra’s song Sweet
Zoo from her 1965 album, My Name is Barbra for my high school variety show.
This intense connection with Barbra Streisand reached its zenith some three decades later
when I was fortunate enough to be seated in the front row for her delayed Anaheim concert
when she read her Letterman-like 'Top 10' reasons why she had to postpone her concerts in
Los Angeles. This was one of the highlights of my life. I have always felt that
Barbra’s special voice was given to this world to delight, amuse, and thrill all of
us in America (and the world), and I have always tried to introduce as many as possible to
her talents. I have all her CDs, albums and as many of her videos as I can collect, and
would love to talk to anyone who is as in love with her as I am." |
