Pensacola Performance

While in Florida this weekend, I had the privilege to see my good friend, Lee Farrar Bailey, a tenor, perform a concert at Gulf Breeze United Methodist Church in Pensacola, Florida. I’ve known Lee since my Belhaven days, and I remember him as a performer who was highly sought after, especially in the field of music. And when he decided which event he would be performing at, instantly that event had an extra ounce of credibility. In fact, Lee was also responsible for one of my shows being produced, Geraniums and Wrens, several years ago in Madison, Mississippi. So I believe it goes without question that I have nothing but good things to say about the guy.

One of those good things was his performance in Pensacola. From Wagner to worship, from Broadway to blues, Lee Farrar Bailey offered an evening of enchanting and inspired music. As I sat in my seat, I was pleased to see that the man I knew at Belhaven still had his stage presence and operatic bravado about him. I was also pleased with the choice of musicians he handpicked to perform in his show. Among them were Chad Miller (my Grat brother and creator of this website), David Potvin, and Barry Hause, all of whom I knew from Belhaven as well.

Many of the selections can be found on his albums, My Heart’s Passion and After the Show, and both of these recordings can be found on his website, http://www.leefarrarbailey.com/

One of the albums, After the Show, features a song that I co-wrote with Karen K. Johnston, A Moment’s Peace. So check it out. The title does not do the album justice. After the Show, along with My Heart’s Passion, makes for great listening before AND after a show!

One last thing I would like to add, in the Gallery section, I have posted the trailer for The Devil and Tom Walker, a film that I was in the past spring. Check it out…

My move to L.A. is ten days and counting…
