"In each piece of my life there’s been proof of regret and the things I can’t change I don’t want to forget"

It is not very often that I become attatched to a COMPOSERS work. Usually, I fall musically in love with the performer and don't think to look beyond the 'star' to see who's work is really on display, which is strange, because when it comes down to it, I see myself as much more of a composer than a performer. Put me on a stage and I'm mesmerised, I turn into someone else, but take away the anonymity, try and get me raw on the stage, there's nothing I could hate more... Though, that being said, I make NO great claims to the title of 'composer', just FYI.

I have fallen in love with Scott Alan's music of late. I first started this love affair when I was in 'Midlight', where the three lead girls battled it out in "I'm a star", Jess convinced me that "Never Neverland" was written for me and Rachael made me teary with "Home". Upon moving to Bangladesh, I decided that life would be far more enjoyable if I stepped up and finally joined the masses, downloading I-Tunes... Well, this has turned out to be an expensive venture, even if you only think about the costly additions to my theatre-related collections (Now REALLY, how could Scott Alan use artists like Tracie Thoms, Stephanie J. Block and Eden Espinosa and NOT get me hooked?)...

I urge you, check out some of Scott's stuff if you ever get the chance. If worst comes to worst, commandeer my laptop and listen to my collection of his stuff... Utter brilliance, honest! In particular, look up "I'm a Star" (Eden Espinosa), "Say Goodbye"(Katie Thompson), "Behind these walls" (Kerry Ellis) and "Never Neverland (Fly Away)" (Stephanie J. Block)... Do yourself a favor, fall in love with the composer who's stolen my heart!

All my love,
