Review of Musical Injuries

Great interviews! This could have been a dry subject if the human element in this wasn't played up so well. Nice editing job. I think the nat.sound related to the music could have been placed a little bit better throughout the piece, esp. during the interviews, rather than just dropped in the beginning and at the end. But I'm still liking this a bunch.

Review of Musical Injuries

This was a very unique story that covered a lot of ground, numerous sources, scenes and much information. It tells of the best way for a musician to stay healthy; to understand how the mind and body work. It tells of some of the hazards of being a musician from the trumpeter who pops his lips to a Broadway singer who performed night after night in front of the exploding effects during the musical Tommy. The story aired previously on Studio 360, it’s a very nice piece and I would considered airing it had it not already aired in that program.
