It was a good sing. Thank you Justine and Natalie for coming - and Neil - and Ken. I am glad that there were many who shared memories of Barry and sang for him. Honestly, though, I did feel that there was a divide in purpose and focus - promoting the festival and fund raising for the festival somehow seemed to overshadow the sense of a memorial sing. I know a number of us came specifically for the sake of Barry, who might not have come otherwise. I guess I just expected a little more memorializing from those that were benefiting, and a little less promotional activity. Then again, I am constantly labeled an idealist.
