Who Am I? - Episode 1 - My proposed bio...

sub-title Musician, Singer, Actor... Columnist?!?!?!

Recieved a call this morning from my lovely bride confirming that my comments on the final Lee's Summit Symphony conert of the season were published in the Journal.

Now, no need to get your shorts in a bunch worrying about the end of the world or life as we know it, it is just a letter to the editor...
(My second in fact. Everyone in LS enjoyed a lovely fireworks display last July 4th. This, I am certain was the direct response by cowed city leadership to my biting commentary on the deplorable absence of such festivities on previous occurances of our Nation's birth. I rest my case... ;->)

I have been considering what my bio should look like if anyone showed the dubious bad taste to actually publish me on any regular basis...

I submit to you:

Bruce Barr is a 23 year roster artist with the Lyric Opera of Kansas City. In addition, Mr. Barr has appeared in various opera, musical comedy, drama and concert productions regionally. Like many of his fellow graduates from music school, Mr. Barr has pursued a vocation in the IT industry. However his musical avocation has provided him with a well-recognized career as secondary tenor and henchman to the evil Baritone that has earned him many loyal fans. This position has also afforded Mr. Barr with ample time to hear and critique the performances of all his fellow thespians that actually get to sing the really good tunes. Though classically trained, Mr. Barr’s musical tastes run a wide gamut, to the point that he may very well be the only graduate of the Conservatory of Music that actually appreciates the Highland bagpipe. He even counts as personal friends several professional accordion players.
