JOY T. BARNUM – Mind Games @joytbarnum #LennonTribute

Lennon Bermuda is a tribute album and book inspired by John Lennon’s visit to Bermuda in 1980, where he wrote a portion of his Double Fantasy album. The Lennon Bermuda boxed set comprises two discs by various artists with a connection to Bermuda, including Yoko Ono, covering Lennon songs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennon_Bermuda

I first heard the Beatles and the Two Virgins album during my freshman year at Oakwood College but it wasn’t until last year that I explored John Lennon’s solo works and fell in love with Take Your Love Away. I was hooked and Mind Games was arranged with me in mind by Felix Tod and David Ayers.  My parents are in love with this version and I wasn’t short of amazed! J.T.B
