From "learning as he earned," leading sing-alongs at Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Oshkosh,Wisconsin, Baier went on to win the Canadian National Banjo Competition in 1983. He subsequently spent three years touring across the U.S. as musical ambassador for the Sara Lee Corporation, prior to settling down in Orlando, Florida. Well known as a crowd pleasing entertainer and virtuoso banjo player, in 1988 Baier started what would be a 15,000 solo show run at Rosie O'Grady's in Church Street Station in downtown Orlando.
