I've heard this program with Henry several times and enjoyed it so much. Adam is so blessed to have such a wonderful grandfather. He has such a story to tell. I love this piece! God bless the Elders like Henry. They have much to teach us.

Review of The Change In Farming

Wow! I had expected a short documentary about the changes in farming and instead I heard a unique musical and literary piece. Goddard hears people's voices as musical notes on a scale. He heard musical notes in his 89 year old grandfather's spoken words and turned them into a melody about the change in farming. The underlying beauty of this piece is the relationship between Goddard and his grandfather. This is a creative way to document personal histories. Wonderfully done.
