BARRY COWSILL
Newport, Rhode Island, was the place of one of my grooviest summers! The Cowsills, as an entertainment group, hadn't come about then and we lived in a large wooden house surrounded by an old picket fence. It had a big porch with a swing on it and the other kids and I used to sit out there in the evenings discussing what we would do when we were grown-up. I remember those years so much because we had more time then to be together as a family. Of course we're together a lot still, but a good deal of it is during tour or singing engagements and now the summertime is when we travel the most. But back then, summer meant being free! Free from studying and going to bed and waking up to be on time for something, except of course on Sunday when we all went to Mass. But most of the time, we sat around on that old porch, laughing, singing, and talking like one big happy family!
