NICE! Good choice to go with no narration. This whole job is a complete surprise to me and it's always nice to hear about people working for the love of the art . . . sort of. The physical descriptions of the space and the show going on above create a great mental image. As a fellow shower-singer, I would be curious for a little more background on how you move up to the pit. A great listen.
It's always reasuring to encounter someone who makes a living doing what he/she loves to do. In this case it's singing in the shower. Well, not exactly but that's the analogy Manoel Felciano offers in describing his job a as pit singer. How deep is your love for the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack? If it runs decidedly deep then you'll really like this. This piece would be great for Labor Day, for a series on poeple who work 'behind-the -scenes,' or a series on unusual jobs. It also stands on its own so if you have the time you should consider using it. You could easily shave 34 seconds off it too to accomodate the new ATC clock. This is somehting you would hear on ATC, Weekend Edition and possibly Market Place.
