 "How I discovered Michael Ball"

I have Michael Crawford to thank for that.  Being an MC fan I just had to buy the video "Premier Collection Encore Andrew Lloyd Webber" hoping to see many MC performances.  I was disappointed that there was only one, when suddenly there was this gorgeous young man, driving up in what looked like a Bentley (with suicide doors.)  He had a voice unlike any I had ever heard before.  He was absolutely brilliant!!!   And to my amazement, he appeared twice in this video!  His rendition of "The First Man You Remember" with Diana Morrison blew me away.  I was desperate to find out more about this incredibly handsome, talented boy, but had no idea where to look.       

Meanwhile I had arranged to take my teenaged granddaughter, Rebecca, back to my homeland to meet her British relatives.  My niece, Jackie sent me a London newspaper so that I could choose a West End show for the 3 of us.  There in  large print was "Passion"  starring MICHAEL BALL.  I couldn't believe my luck!  Naturally, we booked.  I will never forget that now famous "bonking" scene, the golden voice and terrific body.  A dream come true for me, Rebecca and Jackie.   At that moment Michael gained 3 devoted fans, an old lady (me), a teenager (Rebecca) and a 30 yr old beauty (Jackie) and we are still in love with him.

Guess what!, the 3 of us will be seeing him again in October.  It doesn't get
any better than that.  Thanks for allowing me to tell my story.  

Love to all Michael fans, 

Joan
