Having enjoyed a county fair for many many years, I was transported immediately to the nostalgia of these times by hearing this great piece.
For it to be successful as a radio program, however, I think that some additional running commentary should be interspersed with the audio track highlighting just where you are at the fair, the midway, the gradstand, etc etc.
In a very engaging way, the interviewer of this piece, Sara Fishko, brings out the personal side of Dave Brubeck. She never intrudes on his delivery, even allowing extra time of complete silence for him to complete a thought.
I particularily liked the longer musical segments that, were mixed with the short "phrases". One really gets the feeling by the end of the program that you now know something new and fresh about this fabulous jazz artist.
