The Torbay Police Choir Director of Music is also the organist at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Torquay. This is in Southwest England, in Devon.
We had a very pleasant exchange about church organs today, he as a professional and I just as an appreciator. His church's is over a century old and has quite a history. My church's is recently restored and is in top form.
Lackaday, my musical ability, beyond choosing and enjoying all manner, was playing nose flute and blowing across the necks of bottles in a jug band. I did sing to my kids before they were old enough to know bad from tuneful. I am in the moaning and mumbling masses during church services.
This Michael Ball though has a history of musical ability and accomplishment back to puberty. I suppose we need many more in the audience than on stage, eh?

These Michael Balls could make up nearly a whole community. Together so far they cover singing, cooking, playing organs, keeping the peace, running companies, flying little photo-planes, scuba-diving, writing fine essays, writing funny essays, marrying Massachusetts couples, and researching marriage laws. I know only one of the Michael Balls, so I find myself thinking that perhaps all the others are manifestations of different aspects of his personality.
I'm not really anonymous. I just don't know where I recorded my blogging creds and don't want to wait to find them. I'll paste them in later. Just call me Boston Eye.
