32) Mr. Channing and Joe Hodges-Interview 2 (excerpt)
Years ago, a co-worker of mine told me to go out to the back landing of our building because someone was throwing away some records. Sure enough, there were five or six 1960s-era corporate training records, which I promptly snatched up. One is called "Explaining Pay Policy." Using the narrative and dialogue from that record, and combining it with a variety of money/job-related songs, I've created what I think will become one of the classic musicals of the new millenium, "Explaining Pay Policy--The Musical!" The characters are Joe Hodges, a whiny employee trying to get a raise; Mr. Channing, Joe's hardnosed, pragmatic boss (who secretly has a heart of gold, though we don't know that from the dialogue, I'm just inferring it); Joan Greenwood, a hapless typist who dreams of a better world; and Mr. Rowe, Joan's even more hapless manager, who seems to exist only to stomp on Joan's dreams. The action begins and ends in Mr. Channing's office, with Joe Hodges getting nowhere and planning on taking his case to a higher authority: Personnel.

this is a classic, I recently found a single with Walter Cronkite explaining the importance of quality service.Unfortunately it was unplayable,looked like someone used it to clean the carpet.
