One thought on “The Butterfly Ball”

    Hi Roger,

    I simply adore your Beautiful Ball, even though I’m
    French, but it so happens that I’m also an English teacher.
    I’ve made a French adaptation of all the songs and I would like them to be part of a musical on stage in France . What do you think of it ?

    All the best,

    merci de me répondre

    Georges
