a dear friend to us at 'guess who's coming to radio??!!'- as well as a significant population in portland- BARRY LEROY HAMPTON- transcended last week. while we are still reeling from the transition of our teacher michael, barry's sudden transition has made the healing harder as well, since barry was our rock. both our teacher and rock are physically no longer here. with that, the times and conversations we shared together will always be cherished.
whilst it is extremely painful to even write this, it's also important to share these cherished moments with others who loved him, so we are dedicating this evening's show to him. we encourage people to call 503 231 8187, to tell your stories; to speak of performances you saw and had with barry... to any quotes he made which are favourites. barry was also a guest on the show, so we will play portions of the show, as well as some other musical projects (and there were plenty).
thank you so much barry, for all you've done to bring light to portland, and us. we love you so very much.
