Thinking about my dear friend Cathy Barton Para, gone five years today. She was one of the greatest people I have ever known, and oh, what a natural born musician. We had known each other since high school. Here we are at Midwest Banjo Camp in 2017. (Photo - Shari Ballard)
@JoeNewberry What a great photo and memory of a dear talented friend. 💙
@JoeNewberry RIP Cathy. You're keeping her memory alive with your music, Joe. Often on our minds Forever in our hearts 💕
@JoeNewberry It's always special when we find kindred spirits who love what we love and want to share with others. I'm sorry that you lost a kindred spirit, Joe. She sounds like an amazing friend.
@JoeNewberry I'm sorry to hear about her loss Joe, it's so hard losing a close friend. Especially the people close to you, you went to school with.
