I heard this piece today as part of the RadioLab "AV Smackdown" podcast. I was very moved by the content, and impressed by the extraordinarily skilled production -- particularly the music. I loved how the harmonic changes to the Eensy Weensy Spider mirrored how the piece didn't head exactly where I thought it would. I bought a Sony semi-pro walkman cassette recorder when my daughter was born, hoping to capture what John did.
