Review of Travels with Mom [L.Massett]I don't think there is anyone making pieces for radio that is more stripped away and unpretentious than Larry Massett. What a nice find for Mother's Day - very subtle, very gentle - it starts out a little slow but the ending is some kind of magic - so true, so true. |

Review of Travels with Mom [L.Massett]
Massett is a tour guide who leads us through a universal passage...one that he see from a mid-point and focuses our attention backwards and forward in time from his present vantage point...we all know how it will end (in the wheelchair without independent capacity to even hold one's head up)as he points out "although you can't see it, you can feel it"...he gives a sensitive portrayal of the journey without morbid dread of the furture or wishful longing for the past...it is a reconciled peaceful exposition for all of us who realize the increasing limit of our ability and ultimately our interests...
well done
oh, and the music was present, evocative without being dramatic...
