I met Barry for the first time at his home in Derry. He seemed so shy when I walked in that I didn't realize he was my host. Then he sang - well, if you haven't heard him you can't appreciate the change. Barry is a sweet, kind, talented, generous man with a beautiful family and a voice that fills a room.

Barry and family are in my thoughts and prayers. One more reason to look forward to the October Getaway. Cards going out on Monday.
