Long live Diamond Jimmy and may this piece find a place on radio. I was drawn in to the subject almost immediately and only a couple of times did my interest wane. And I loved the ending.

Our protagonist, Jimmy, has an enthusiasm, optimism, and charisma worth hearing about. I fell in love with the guy and found him inspirational. How nice it was for the producer to allow me to arrive at my own decision about Jimmy and his world.

On one hand he's employing sales techniques while his honest and principled hand is betraying that slickness.

Dan told a good story. Rather, he stayed out of the way and let Jimmy tell a good story, his story in song and colorful language and in conversation with fellow residents of Braddington. Jimmy's vernacular and his speaking voice simply demanded my attention. Dan was there enough to fill in the gaps with excellent descriptions.

Nice rhythm, nice flow and solid and conversational delivery by Dan.

May have to be edited to fit some station's needs but, if you have a hole for feature work like this, play it.
