The sixties and seventies – a period that changed popular music forever. A period that made the transistor radio the most popular electronic communication device of the age and gave birth to pirate offshore radio stations. But what was it actually like to be in the music business in the youth driven cultural revolution that became to be known as the swinging sixties? Barry Greenfield’s, ‘My Journey to Blue Sky’ takes the reader on a ride through the halcyon days of music. Beginning in 1968 auditioning for John Lennon at Apple Records, and culminating in 1973, working in Hollywood, where he recorded his first LP, ‘Blue Sky’ with the help of Larry Carlton, Joe Osborn, Jim Gordon, Jimmie 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. If you are a lover of sixties and seventies music, then for you this is a must read.Table of Contents: Barry Greenfield Acclaim My Journey to Blue Sky                  7   Chapters   1  My Journey to Blue Sky Began in Manchester                    11 2  Apple Records, John Lennon in London, 1968                    22 3  A Friday afternoon with Kenny Rogers in 1969                  34 4  The day Cher kissed me (on the cheek) 1970                      41 5  10cc, ‘Sweet America’ my first recording,      Stockport 1971                                                                     49 6  My first tour                                                                          64 7  The recording of Blue Sky in RCA Hollywood 1973          74 8  The afternoon that I met Harry Nilsson and      Richard Starkey 1973                                                          90   Photo Gallery   9  Thanksgiving dinner at Mike Nesmith’s Home 1973          96 10 The songwriter’s triangle, Joni, Buffy and me 1974         104 11 An evening with Supertramp at the      Queen Elizabeth Theatre                                                   112 12 The Art of Song Writing – My passion                             122 13 The 12 Bar Club, London. 19 September 2006                 139 14 ‘My day in Auschwitz’.
