Review of Not My Job: Tales From the "Degreasing Room."

This is a graceful albeit painful angle about working. Carefully produced - and I mean respecting the natural pacing of Matthew's
story, thoughtfully revealing the simple and long-legged truth about working the wrong job.
Merz has an artistic hand with music, giving the listener a chance to digest what has been laid out on the table without being heavy handed. I aired this amid various stories about working on "Arts and Ideas" and it stands out.
