And... A bonus
Musical Poetry
This eclectic collection of poetry and prose on CD was inspired by one man’s journey through life with it’s ups and downs. A chance meeting with a long time friend was the catalyst that set this project in motion. Through the creative efforts of Phil Ball the poet and Michael Fonfara the musician this project took on a life of it’s own.

The Poet, Phil Ball:
Originally from Coventry, England Phil ended up in Canada at the age of 20 as the result of a coin toss. Who was to know that in the wee hours of the night Phil had been writing poetry and prose for years. It was a surprise to everyone that knew Phil when he up and announced that he had all these poems and was going to make a CD. This collection is a small sampling of the vast collection of goodies he has stored away.
The Musician, Michael Fonfara:
Michael is a much sought after keyboards player and world-class arranger of many of today’s artists with over 35 years of experience in live music, radio and television productions. Perhaps Michael’s greatest ability is his incredible talent as a musical arranger and producer. His most recent work as producer on the gospel CD “Saved” has just been nominated for a Juno as “Best Gospel Album of The Year.”
