Barry first found music when he borrowed his sister's record collection when he was about eight and was hooked. When Caroline started it was a new beginning, and he listened to all the stations, but Caroline was his favourite by far. Later he became a singer in a band, then started doing discos when he was 18. He joined Caroline in 1977, touring the country with the Caroline Roadshow for 10 years, having great fun. Barry helped with tender trips and worked on the Ross Revenge in '84 and '85. ...

Synopsis
A new guitar concerto by Aaron Jay Kernis received its premiere at a Minnesota Orchestra concert on today’s date in 1999. The idea for this concerto was prompted by a friend of Kernis, guitarist David Tanenbaum, who was looking for a new work for guitar and orchestra that he could pair with the most performed of all such works, Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez.
For his new concerto, Kernis reworked parts of two earlier works he had composed for Tanenbaum: part of a Partita for solo guitar became the concerto’s opening movement, followed by two movements from 100 Greatest Dance Hits, a Kernis chamber work for guitar and string quartet.
The middle movement, “Slow Dance Ballad” is “the kind of music my parents would like — what they hope to find on the radio dial,” says Kernis. In its original form, this movement was titled “MOR, i.e. Middle of the Road: Easy Listening.”
The concerto’s finale, “Salsa Posada,” is a Spanish pun referring both to the craze for old-fashioned salsa dancing and the condiment of the same name, perhaps a little “off” or past its prime.
