Joe: I thoroughly enjoyed your story. I was taken back to the memories of shopping in the big department stores of my childhood and the smoke filled lounges where weary Moms took refuge from the crowds.The pacing is just right, the FX subtle and the music in tune with the story. I loved the hint of things to come when you described "your Buster Browns lifting off the sidewalk".
Thank you for the refuge from work and returning me to memories that need coddling lest we forget life's opportunities to be a hero!
Stations, this is nice piece of writing and enjoyment for your listeners.
An unusual little piece that celebrates the memories of childhood in the context of the holiday season. Joe's writing his clever. His delivery is earnest and poignant. I enjoyed the sound effects and music as a nice way of dramatizing the story.
This could be used in a locally-produced magazine show, focusing on the topic of children and the holidays.
This is a wonderful seasonal essay that features a nice bit of storytelling. It's a strange childhood memory brought to life with a lot of heart and humor. Love the use of music. I'm very glad I found this.
