Reviews
From Robyn on Substack in 2026
The decades continued to roll by, and in 2006 I finally met up with Barry Melton at a festival in La Rochelle, on the coast of France, where we were both performing. By now he had been a lawyer for many years and was with his wife, Barbara. Barry didn’t mention Country Joe at all, so I didn’t ask, but it seemed like they were happily out of touch with each other. I didn’t like to bother him with my ancient idolatry - he and Barbara just seemed like nice people to share cheese with. I did get to play on stage with him, which was fun. We were both part of a Beatles’ song finale, of which some grainy footage remains.
