- Summary: Tonette sends an audio postcard from her favorite Chicago block: we eavesdrop on the guys at the corner, see Ms. P come out onto her porch, and hear the birds announce summer's arrival.

Review of Summer on 64th

Summer on 64th is a short look at Tonette’s summer life in New York. This is a very poetic piece creating a mood in which even an old lamppost can be the most beautiful thing on the street. She talks about the different characters who hang out at the corner of 64th. The listener can almost see the two guys who greet grandma as she comes out of the house. The one problem with this piece is that it is hard to hear the recordings of the street, and I wish the sound of the interviews was clearer. The end leaves me with the sound and the feel of New York on my headphones as Tonette’s voice fades away.
