This versatile performer began as a drummer in a Rock and Roll garage band in
Dallas Texas. His musical career went on hold with his marriage to Mary Jane
Suttle and the arrival of two ready-made children and two more from their
collaberation.
Barrie has mixed a business career as a salesman and Corporate Trainer with
his love of music and theater. He has written four plays and more than 200
newspaper columns and essays. He has appeared in 30 plays, 2 movies, and
dozens of television commercials.
He has also performed at numerous festivals, clubs, receptions, and business
gatherings with his classical guitar, smooth vocals, somewhat "bent" sense of
humor, and weapons of mass percussion. He has hosted July Fourth and
Christmas programs in Blowing Rock for the past ten years.
In recent years, Barrie has produced and performed in COTTON PATCH
GOSPEL, presented at several North Carolina churches and developed three
One-Man-Shows, A VISIT WITH BEN FRANLIN, OH! O. HENRY, and AGING
GRACEFULLY AND OTHER MYTHS.
