THE SUBJECT: JOHN BAYLESS
INTERNATIONAL PERFORMER, COMPOSER, & RECORDING ARTIST
It is always miraculous watching the human spirit transcend great adversity. In these trying times we desperately need to be exposed to inspiring true stories. Watching internationally renowned concert pianist John Bayless overcome the challenges of his debilitating stroke—which in minutes brought his 30-year career to a screeching halt—is truly inspiring. John fought back where others might have capitulated—deciding his artistry has more life—and his life has more life!
After a lifetime of playing with two hands, John has taught himself to play the piano with just his left hand and make it sound as if he’s playing with both. People need to see this. To be motivated by his courage and determination. To see how far John can go and what he can achieve in his life’s second act.
