I agree with Rita - I so enjoyed Barry's version of Sioux Indians at the Getaway. It was one of the highlights for me. I never imagined it would be the last Getaway I'd see Barry at. He was one of those people you like as soon as you meet him - there was a warmth and down to earth quality that is rare and special- he had it in spades. I was just remembering year before last at the Getaway when Severn had brought some steamed crabs and I sat with Sev, Joe Offer and Barry while they picked out the crab meat and savored every last morsel. It was one of those "Getaway" moments where the feeling of being among friends is so strong. I will miss him on Mudcat, and there'll never be a Getaway where he won't be missed.   

I'm glad Mudcat is back up. When I learned of Barry's death, I needed my Mudcat family.
