   About LeNor Barry
Description: Haunting vocalist/songsmith
LeNor Barry is one of those incredibly gifted artists who is so good,
it's downright scary. She fingerpicks a twelve-string with grace, sings like an angel and pens intriguing lyrics set to compelling melodies. A perennial standout in her vast repertoire is
"Sore Loser," off her Skeletons Die Laughing CD. Such wry melancholy as,
"I will bring you trouble/ and bring you wine/
but I will never give you any second chances/
I won't teach you what romance is"
is sung with nothing short of hypnotic allure.
Barry's newest release is Painting the Dragonfly, and you really want to experience the lead cut
"Wind Chimes" which showcases some of the most exquisite phrasing you're likely to come across for quite some time.
With Kenwood Slim. 10 p.m . 923 Washington Ave. N., Mpls. 612-332-2628. HOBBES

"Who lives between the lines, in the story of Your life?
(It's somebody who - has nothing to lose)" Lyric from "Don't Explain" ..ing the Dragonfly"

I found a guitar in Washington Square, San Francisco when I was 17 and Leonard Cohen song book, I learned "Like A Bird On A Wire". Then I began to just write my own. I was OK at it, then I lived a few life times and I got better at it. Then I had some hard times so I thought I liked the blues. Now I still like the blues but I live with JOY, and SHE sings my songs. Lived in Studio City California from 1980 to 1994. I produced "Skeletons Die Laughing", "Healer" With A Twist!" , and "Painting The Dragonfly", in Minneapolis from 1997 to 2005. I have few more albums sitting in my head, and I plan on bringing them out, soon!

How's life treating you?

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

Musicians Say No!. To Bush New World Order





Mar 7 2007 1:33 AM

Hello LeNor Barry ...

Thank you for coming over, ... for being friends to us All, .... and your support ....

You may like to check out our new page there are some new informative videos there, www.myspace.com/alsored.. please click Add if you like it ..

Sites, and pages like ...." No! To Bush World Order AKA Red", .... have managed to open quite a few eyes, ... get on the nerves of the media, ... and governments, and i hope, ... helped in foreseeing a brighter future, as long as We take some action now.

As you know, "Any Individual" has a very hard time in changing anything, ... but together, ... We are a force to be reckoned with, folk are flocking to sites like mine, .... once they know where to go, ... learning, and helping off-line folk to get a better understanding of what's Really going on, and what we can do to try and help, .. so for me .. this is all worthwhile, ... BUT ... my, and other sites like mine desperately need Your Help.

Please somehow, if you can, do a little something to add to this energy, every little bit counts within the whole, ... please tell your friends....

Please add us to your top friends for just a while, SO ThaT YoUr FrIEnds can ViEW .... Help us get The Word Out, ... if we don't, then we only have ourselves to blame for the future our children have to live. .. as we have at our fingertips the means to take simple action at the click of the mouse, and make a difference Now.

Then, ... there's the Mass Consciousness Project, .... one of many, .... which can be found via my "top friends icons" ..

Or go to .. Lightworkers.org .. where thousands of like minded folk together "meditate", "pray", "think" "contemplate", space out .. whatever it is that you're inclined to do or prefer, ... for five minutes out of your day ... the essence of which, is concentrating our minds Together on Love, Light, and Peace.

Here in the UK, and around the world, there is a group of folk who join together daily at 2100hrs, = 9.00pm GMT,

Daylight Saving Time starts on Sunday, March 25, 2007 at 1:00 AM local standard time, (GMT) London.
DST ends on Sunday, October 28, 2007 at 2:00 AM local daylight time, YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN IN ... anytime ...


Thanks again for your support, ...

Peace & Love,

Red.
