About Me

Name:Alison B
Location:Michigan

Alison was born and raised in the seaside city of Port Elizabeth in South Africa. Showing her leadership qualities even in her youth, she was Head Girl of Collegiate High School for Girls in 1985. Alison grew up in Basildon and left school at sixteen largely unqualified. She spent time as a shop worker before embarking on a piano tuning course which she had to abort in the second year as the single, Only You, became a worldwide hit. Alison achieved an international reputation as a banjo player by pushing the instrument out of its familiar Appalachian settings and into new musical territory. Alison became the 1993 recipient of the Dorothea Lange Award in documentary photography for her photographs of child labor in Asia. Since then, she has lived with exiled Tibetans in Nepal and India for over a decade, recording their culture and the challenges which exile has brought.

The Music Man



I love The Music Man. Sure, the fiery, indepedent woman falls for the guy she knows is a shyster because she is love starved, and yes, said shyster really has a heart of gold deep down and puts aside his money-grubbing ways after she sings of her love (based on only a few short encounters between the two of them), but the songs, oh, the songs. Lil' Ronny Howard is just so cute, I could just pinch him. Like Earl Nightingale, you just have to stop projecting the values of today onto the past anachronistically.
