## Resource

Big Al was the amusement park manager at Neverland Valley Ranch, and in this episode, he answers YOUR questions about Michael Jackson, Neverland, and his unforgettable memories from working at the ranch. We talk about Michael riding the Neverland steam train, the music he chose for the property, his love of animals, the alligator he named “Big Al,” and the hilarious story of Big Al nearly mistaking Johnny Depp for a trespasser! He also shares a surprising Christmas Eve phone call from Michael, memories of making Michael laugh, and more personal stories from his years at Neverland Valley Ranch. If you watched my first conversations with Big Al, this episode takes the story even further. And if you're new here, you're in for a fascinating firsthand perspective from someone who experienced an important chapter of Michael Jackson history up close.
