Haskell and David M. Kershenbaum. Barry Greenfield recorded and performed in Great Britain, Europe, America, and
Canada. The Barry Tales he tells are the intimate moments and interesting details
he lived while he attended 'music school'. His teachers and mentors were Cher,
John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, 10cc, Supertramp, Kenny Rogers, Mike Nesmith and
more.
Through the use of contemporary journals, diaries and the recollections of the
people who were there at the time, Barry paints a vivid picture with a no holds
barred approach. Fast paced, personal, and with heart wide open, Barry
Greenfield lays it all out for the reader to relive his journey to Blue Sky.
