Barry Ryan
Cat Stevens has reminisced about his friend, the musician, singer and photographer Barry Ryan, who at 72 has died after complications from a lung disorder. “It was Paul’s brother Barry who gave me my first book on Buddhism and meditation, The Secret Path,” said Stevens (also known as Yusuf ). “When I spoke with Barry recently, he told me he was fully at peace knowing he only had a short time left on this earth. His trust in God was solid. We’ll miss him.”
