I love this piece starting with the first note of the organ from the Doors song “Light My Fire.” The narrator (Casey Brackett) starts off by saying a whim to look through the personals ads in her local newspaper leads to the creation of the piece. Brackett is very sarcastic throughout the piece about the different people who have personal ads, which leads to a whimsical and funny piece. She calls up some of the personal ad authors and records their voice mail. A computer voice reads out the facts, including age and astrological sign; this computer’s voice is very sensual. I wonder if the computer has a personal ad, too? Some people on the personal ads page you want to know, and some should just be avoided like the plague. All in all, it is the oldest story in the world, of people lookin’ for love.

First, there is a second or so of audio at the beginning of this piece, just before the music starts, that shouldn't be there; and also this listener is a little confused (and pedantic I guess) as the intro talks about 2 upcoming personal ads, and then 3 follow. That being said this piece comprises too much of the ads (from a few lonely people whose only sin is trying to find a date), with not enough input from the narrator, even though the latter is a tad judgmental, in my humble opinion.
