MACON, Ga. — Saturday afternoon, friends and family celebrated Macon maestro Thomas Bailey Jr. at the Elaine Lucas Center.
Bailey is the leader of two gospel groups here in Central Georgia -- Thomas Bailey and Total Praise and the Band of Angels.
He grew up practicing piano here in Macon with his neighbor's grandson, Little Richard, and he continues to travel across the country playing music to this day.
His family and friends came together with food, and memories, to honor him for his legacy and the music he continues to make.
