Review of Singing Sanitation Worker

This short piece features an inspirational garbage collector with an altogether winning personality. Cleanly produced and filled with rich sounds, it entertains even as it pokes holes in our stereotypes about glum proletarians at the bottom of the industrial food chain. This man seems to be happier and better adjusted than most of the smartly dressed executives who pass him on the streets every day. Plus, this guy can sing; he ought to get a contract out of this piece!
