Musician Scott Farrell tells his life story in this tell-all volume. Read about his education, his many opera productions, and his struggles to fit into a community that did not understand his goals and dreams. Farrell shares both the good and the bad over a thirty-six year period, and many colourful characters pop in and out of the story to keep things interesting. Discover: - the challenges of coming out and finding himself in a closed-minded town - the beginnings of Rockford Operetta Party and the Royal English Opera Company - original light operas and their productions - finding a home in the leather community - workplace battles and what was learned from them - his hyper-dysfunctional family The stories ripple agreeably, and a regular undercurrent of verbal wit flows through the pages. It's a story about finding one's place in the world, making a mark on the arts community, and learning to love oneself. Farrell goes through a lot of sh*t, and despite all oppositions, he manages to find his way through even the darkest of times.
