I have a sad memory of Milt standing in the reception at the radio station early 2005 as I got ‘off’ the air apologizing profusely as he was a no show earlier for interview. His agent, who was driving him, was on the wrong time zone coming from Alabama and so was an hour late.
He had all his bling on his hands and neck and his oversized shades and was genuinely embarrassed and I said
“c’mon - heroes can play when they want, no big deal. Just reschedule we love you“ and he seemed relieved and anxious at the same time.
He didn’t rebook, he got sick and died that summer.
I still have that image in my head.

Hello Barry, I was wondering what the latest news is regarding the acoustic CD and DVD. I'm certainly looking forward to hearing the music and viewing the DVD because I haven't had the opportunity yet to see you live.

Fair play to ya Mc Cabe for getting a mention in the new Rory book. What was it about, you telling how to tune his guitar. lol

Hi Barry,
Thank you for the fantastic weekend....we had nothing to complain in the peaceful ambiance of De Witte Raaf ! ....It was very nice to meet again with so many fans...
who had travelled far, some from other countries to enjoy this unique opportunity. And a surprise to see our Franký Vee and Gerry too, that brought back some memories....
It was funny to hear Anneke's announcement of the shows with the description of you in the Albatross days....
How you shook your long hair loose when you came on stage and immediately blew everyone away with your powerbluesrock wherever you were playing and that you had many female fans !
It was a great pleasure to listen to so many of your beautiful songs in this intimate setting, and much praise also for the skills of Ralph and Bas. How lucky I was to be present at both concerts....!
I look forward to see/hear the CD/DVD ....it will be great, no doubt about that....and I can't wait to get it in my hands.....! Greetings from Bep

I'm sp glad that I found your site. I saw you live in Motala back in the '80:s. You had your band Albatross at that time, and I consider that concert as one of the best bluesconcerts I've ever seen. As a matter of fact I would never had begun to play guitar if it wasn't for that concert. You blew me totally away! It was so incredibly great. I remember that we talked a bit after the concert and you were so nice and down to earth & humble guy. thank you for the inspiration!

Just found your site. I have the
above mentioned copy of New Spotlight
The Freshmen, Derek Dean/Billy Brown are on the cover. Don't know what year it is, sometime in the early 1970s I am guessing.
What can I do with it? Any ideas. I would love it to go to a good home. Any suggestions?

We missed you in Ballyshannon this year Barry. Even your old mate was here, Mick Taylor. Horslips and all, like the good ol' days.

Thanks for the newsletter Barry. I always enjoy reading it and keeping up to date on your activities. I agree with you that Johnny is a very stylish player and I'm hoping to see them in Ballyshannon at the Rory festival. Of course I'm already looking forward to your next batch of recordings.
Chris
Wow, nice one Barry. Great to see the guys reviewing Beyond the Tears and talking so positively about it, but of course we all know that already. Sounds like you should support Bad Company on a US tour. Now that's a show I'd go to see for sure!

Happy holidays Barry, best wishes for the New Year and on a selfish note, I would love to see you live in 2012 and while I have your attention some new recordings would be great as well! I hope that's not asking to much or should I talk to Santa bout this! lol
