About Me....

 
Dave Barber, author and writer has recently released his book
“Life in a Minor Key”.  Mr. Barber’s Book is based on his poetry life Growing up in south Texas. Every part of this collection is about family. Even the cover art, painted by his sister Patti Bonham, was based on a Old photograph of Dave’s Grandmother. Life in a Minor Key is truly a family story told in words.  Although it may appear that our life isn't in the starlight, our life in a minor key makes a difference. 
 
It all began with reaching the age of 13 and realizing the beauty of life in simple poetry near a mountain stream in Center Point, Texas.  Dave Barber began writing heart-felt, touching poetry.   Now, 30 years later, his first release is a beautiful collection of poetry about life in the minor key. Music in  minor keys have a different quality, because the notes in the minor scale are arranged differently and so have different relationships with each other. Music in minor keys has a different sound and emotional feel, and develops differently harmonically.  Music that is in a minor key is sometimes described as sounding more solemn, sad, or  mysterious.  There are many who’s song plays out loudly, but it takes a special way of listening to detect the soft, gentle voicing.  Each life makes a difference, as you read "Life in a minor Key" you can see how each life is important, precious and special.  Thanks for reading!  - Dave
