Location SC	Posted on 2010-07-21 at 14:42:46 by PADale   I know it has been a few years since Barry's passing. I think of him often and this is one of those days. I met Barry, in 1984 at a tiny little hole in the wall in White Rock, South Carolina. He stayed with the owner of the bar while he played there. We became friends and I instantly gave him my heart. I want his family to know that the Barry I met was the sweetest most wonderful person I had ever met in my life. He had total respect for me as a person. I would go see him perform at night and during the day we would shoot pool at a local store. He loved life, he talked about his brothers and sister often. Barry was so talented, he was a one man band. I know he is in heaven singing those songs he loved so much. He touched so many people's lives directly or indirectly. The last time I saw Barry, he was leaving SC. I gave him a little money and he was gonna hitch hike to where ever the road would take him. I'll always have those memories of Barry and think of him often. Patty D
Location Missouri	Posted on 2010-07-15 at 18:01:52 by Anne   As a original Rhode Islander, I was in love with Barry Cowsill! The Cowsill group was great and I still have some of the albums--yes, I am old enough to have albums. It was great to see the wonderful condolences for Barry. Susan is doing a great job and I believe her Brother would be very proud of her. Barry my not be here physically but is always here in spirit and in our hearts.

Location Brockton, Ma	Posted on 2010-06-30 at 17:33:46 by Kevin Phelps   Barry, Thought about you today. Just wanted to log this to ensure that you are never forgotten. It seems like yesterday when you moved in with Nathan and I in Providence. Miss ya!
Location Philly	Posted on 2010-05-14 at 17:04:02 by Jay Blum   Hey Cowsills, Been a fan since I saw you on Steel Pier in Atlantic City, July '69. It was the day of the moon landing. I have a five minute audio recording of an interview you did on the Pier that was broadcast on TV. You talked about your Mom being in AC Hospital and Susan picked her favorite brother. If you'd like, I can send you the audio file of the interview. Anyway, I still love the music...In Need of a Friend, Poor Baby, Mr. Flynn etc....great stuff! Global is fantastic too. I was the same age as Barry and remember seeing him walking on the Pier that day and he was wearing a suede fringed jacket (ala Roger Daltrey) and he was surrounded by girls. I thought he was the coolest guy in the world. Was very sorry to hear of his passing. Regards, Jay
Location Salisbury	Posted on 2010-04-26 at 17:05:02 by Karen   I just found out about his death. I met Barry when my family and I were at Delaware State Fair to see the Cowsills perform. I was just eight-years-old and just had open-heart surgery. It was after their show and my sister and I were trying to get autographs. The crowd was too much for me and I started crying. Barry heard me and wanted to know who was crying. My sister told him about me and he lifted me up over the fence. I got to meet the rest of the family. He made me feel very special. I am so sorry to hear about his passing. I will never forget the Cowsills. Karen

Location Pacific Grove, CA	Posted on 2010-02-06 at 19:42:02 by Tommy Loveless aka Tomi Lovelix   I Met Barry at The Brewing Company on Montereys Cannery Row. He was running the open-mike on tuesday nights. I have a luncheon Cave too, on the coastline of Pacific Grove, I use to play hooky there. Berry and I had much in common we discovered. I eventually took over the open-mike with my band ZA. Barry and I had many grand adventures during the Monterey Pop festival in 1989. I closed the night club stage Sunday night and was unsure my bass player was gonna show, so we spent much of saturday afternoon getting Barry up to par on our song list, as he volenteerd to set in on bass for my band. Barry was that kind of Guy. this is 2010 feb. I just found out about Barry's death 20 minutes ago. I'm sad yes. But I know where ever Barry is now, he's in the lime-light singing and picking his favorite tunes. We shared alot of kewl jams and Barry is missed for now. Peace n Love; Tomi Lovelix:

Location Spokane WA	Posted on 2010-01-07 at 23:43:19 by Jennifer Wise   I just heard this news doing a search for Osmonds and Cowsills info. Both groups were very influential during my teen years. I am so sorry about this and my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Location Raleigh, NC	Posted on 2009-12-17 at 19:35:19 by Catherine Bay   Barry, there wasn't much to look forward to in my teenage years as both my parents were very cruel and abusive. However, there was a radio and record player. Listening to you and looking at your photos helped me through that trying time. I never knew that you were enduring the same violence from your own father. I'm so sorry. I'm glad the music itself, as well as fan affection offered you something positive. I wish you were still here, however, I'm very glad you have children and grandchildren carrying on. Rest well; you have earned some Peace. I'll remember you fondly, always. Thank you for all the great memories. . .
Location Southern California	Posted on 2009-12-17 at 00:54:27 by Terry   Was it the Hair album that Barry sang "Please Mr. Postman" on? He was my favorite Cowsill, and then Susan. I was only 11 at the time.

With great sadness I heard of Barry's passing. I will be traveling to Nashville on 10/12, but will arrive too late to come and see you at the Wildhorse. Thank you for the memories.
Location Peel, Arkansas USA	Posted on 2009-09-24 at 16:56:39 by Pam Hollifield   YOU are my favorite group of all time AND I am so PISSED at myself for letting you slip through my fingers. I live on the Arkansas side close to Branson. I found out TODAY (9-24-09) that y'all were in Branson and I didn't know!!! AUGH!!!! The very first words I said to my husband were, "You look just like Barry Cowsill". We've now been married almost 33 years (dated for 7). I am going to rectify this situation of missing y'all in Branson. I am going to start collecting signatures and mount a campaign to get y'all back to Branson! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME BACK TO BRANSON!!!!!!!! What is your mailing address? I will mail the signatures to you. Thank you and Bless You - Pam Hollifield
