Review of Final Sale

Winthrop Sherwin lives and works in a small town his whole life. Producer interviews many of Mr Sherwin's friends and customers. The strong theme is roots and familiarity and extended family.
This sounds a lot like something you might hear on Morning Edition, but it's probably too long for that format. The style is much like the recent "Mozart's Hidden Kitchen" I heard on ME. The Kitchen Sisters are a high comparison indeed, but it gives you an idea of the sound and editing style. I think with a little compression, this piece could be sharing Winthrop's retirement with the entire country.
