I like vox-pop collages for their simplicity, focus and diversity of voices. This one is a charmer. Its structure is simple: people riffing on their first loves, with the song "I Only Have Eyes For You" weaving the vignettes together. Most engaging are memories of playground crushes. It leaves the listener with his or her own memories, perhaps wishing Dmae Roberts and her microphone had stopped by to ask for their first love story. This piece would be a perfect confection to add to a Valentine's Day special.
