Locations in Harold's Library

• Michael Ball: The Musicals & More (dvd) (excerpt only)
  • 01:40:35
  • Cast: Michael Ball (singer), Geoff Eales (piano)
  • Notes: as part of informal jam session before the show, Geoff Eales suggests this as an intro to 'My Funny Valentine'; Ball sings "I cut my wrists ..." after recognising the opening arpeggiations; after recognising the suggestion being made he immediately says "no, no, no; he tries to get clever, don't he?"
