I have never met a singer who sang with such power & intensity when a song was 'big', and with such gentleness when it was needed.

Rita & I have been remembering 'Barry stories' for 2 days, and we will get some posted as we can.
   Barry stayed here overnight a few years ago, and rode to the Getaway with me...and he was such a delight to just TALK to. Then he met his many other friends for the weekend and continuously amazed us all with the variety and power of the songs he sang.
At one point, someone started a song, and Barry NEEDED a bohdran to play, and not having one, he grabbed a metal folding chair to add the needed rhythm! Mick, seeing his problem, ran to his truck and fetched a REAL drum, and....more music was made.

What a wealth of living Barry crammed into his all-too-short time with us.
