The peripatetic
Barney McClure is a man of many interests, and several careers.
Born in Ohio and raised in California, he worked in the movie
and TV industry in Hollywood in the 60s but left that scene in
1970 to tour for several years, supplementing his income when
necessary by working in boat building and construction.
A
long run up the West Coast found him in Port Townsend on
Washington's Olympic Peninsula where he settled in a new home
and took a temporary break from music. He mounting a successful
campaign for mayor. Dubbed "The Jazz Mayor" he
combined his interest in politics with music as he re-emerged as
a first-call pianist for
visiting artists in Seattle clubs and at the Jazz
Port Townsend Festival each
|
summer. Ernestine
Anderson, Mark Murphy, Herb Ellis, Bud Shank, Sonny Stitt,
Sweets Edison and many others benefited from Barney's sensitive
and swinging accompaniment.
Even
with all of this activity he found time to serve a term in the
Washington State Legislature from 1983-1985, and managed the
Performance and Outreach Program at Pacific Lutheran University.
Barney has written a
great book for pianists called
"There Is No Such Thing As a Mistake."
