Barry E. Nelson

Thinking about you today, Barry. Gone but certainly not forgotten. Thanks for your positive influence in my life, you are missed!

Been thinking about you, Barry. Hard to believe its been ten years! Miss you, man. I truly hope you know how much you are loved and missed!

Love you Barry. Life continues to remind us of your Barry"isms" and always brings a smile.

I was very lucky to have Barry as my drum teacher back when I first started playing. I remember how blown away I was when I first heard him lay down the basic rudiments on his practice pad. Although it's been years since I've played on a regular basis, I'm proud to say I still have the same book of rudiments from the days he taught me. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Sorry to hear the news about Barry . Good luck to all he left

Even after being at String today and hearing all the speakers I still can't believe he's gone. Always warm, vibrant and passionate in his involvement with people and music, so much energy. I remember I had taken some lessons from Berry years ago, he made house calls at that time, can't even get a doctor to do that. The first time there he asked me to play some pieces for him and we proceeded to work on some things and the second time he said you really don't need lessons just play more and...
