supported us:
We'd like to thank Rob from GMS Drum Co. who hooked us up with Willem in Holland and made sure
Mike was playing the state of the art GMS drums during this tour.
Of course none of it could happen if it weren't for our fearless leader, Louie and his right hand man
Jack.
The Level is an awsome club thanks to Rogier, Bjorn & Jan-Maarten, they made us feel welcome.
Reno and Lorraine from Lore Audio

Hi all! Forgive me for it's been almost a month since the last update but it's not that we weren't busy. We've
been pushing hard working on the new Barnaby Bye CD which is just about done and well worth the wait.
We are very proud of this one, it's got 12 new original songs plus two bonus tracks, 'Just Like That' and 'No Gettin
Around My Love' live.
We just set up a show at the Boulton Theater in Bay Shore, we love playing there also we'll be promoting the new
Barnaby Bye CD with a tour in Europe, we have a few dates where we will share the stage with our old friends, Orleans.
Bobby did a show with the Fabulous ElkTones at the Beautiful Nassau Country Club, it was too much fun.
The elegant ballroom had 30 foot ceilings so the Doo Whop sounded amazing. We're gonna try to get the ElkTones to do a
few songs at the Boulton show on April 5th.
Our friend and fan Carol sent me a beautifully framed vintage ad of the 1955 Thunderbird, thanks Carol, I love it.

Hope your journey to Paris went well and the band and
crew were all well rested to hit the stage in Paris.
The concert in Arnhem was great. It is amazing how two
islands can merge into one without losing ones
identity.
Oceans of music is a tribute of mutual respect and
love for music.
Simply Great, Thank you.
Much love,
Dorina

Hey friends, in case you haven't noticed, we're adding a brand new page to our site. It's a great idea suggested by our friend,
Mimi from Illinois.She sent us photos of us opening for Andy Gibb on the Shadow Dancing tour back in '78. She said, "Why don't
you ask your fans to send their photos"If anyone has any photos of us, us with you would be great, or even photos of you, now or then,
we'd love to put them on this special page where we can connect a little more with the people who have supported us for so long. You are in
our hearts and now we want you on our website, if it's OK with you. Think of it as our Fans/Friends/Family photo album. So please...if you have
any old photos, new photos even drawings of us,... us and you.. or just you,... your cat,.. whatever. If it's appropriate we'll post it. We're working
on a cool token of appreciation for anyone who comes up with anything. Feel free to add a caption or comment. Thanks for your love and support
and thanks again, for keeping our music in your hearts! -b&b

Barnaby Bye Live in '05 DVD now available! It's the first time ever we've been captured on video. If you were at the show, you know what a special night it was, if you weren't, you'll feel like you're there. It was also one of the last shows at The Downtown before they closed their doors. The Downtown will forever hold a special place in the heart of Long Island music history, I really think we captured the magic of the evening. We're sure you'll agree. Check out some of the rave reviews.
