Review of My Dad's Records

This is a great segment for Father's Day. It's a piece that involves a dad and his young son together going through the grandfather's phonograph records.
It's cleverly produced using the cute and curious voice of the son as he queries his dad and comments about "Grandpa Arnold's" quite curious collection. Listeners are not likely to hear this music anywhere else.
As a dad with my own not-so-little-anymore son, this piece was inspiring to me. I think it will touch the hearts of the dads in the audience as well as anyone who's ever had one!
Use as "filler" during Father's Day weekend programming, as a feature during a magazine show or as a set-up for a discussion about fathers and sons.
