I'm still snowed up in Beddau, South Wales, in the big long Eurofreeze, but my thoughts go back to the night in summer last year when Llantrisant Folk Club welcomed Barry and New York duo Jerry Epstein and Ralph Boddington. Barry had a lift from Andrew and Carole McKay, whom he had met during their American trip. Barry shook the Club rigid which his wonderful, weird singing, and we cemented a friendship that was so tragically cut short by Barry's passing. I wish I could be at Mystic right now.
