"It's a Small World"
My co-author and I laughing after an award winning radio interview
Yesterday’s post I alluded to the radio interview we did with Doug Fabrizio.1 In that interview, Doug asked me about the Mormon Culture. I told him that there were so many aspects that were wonderful, and on the surface the culture was happy and smiling like going to Disneyland.
After the interview, Carol and I were walking through the President’s Circle on the University of Utah Campus. Carol smiled and said, “That comparison of happy Mormons to Disneyland was brilliant. How did you think of it?”
I shrugged my shoulders and started singing, “It’s a small world after-all….”
Before I knew it, Carol joined in:
It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all.It's a small, small world.
There is just one moon, And one golden sun. And a smile means, Friendship to every one.
Though the mountains divide,And the oceans are wide, It's a small world after all.
We laughed and sang until we reached our cars. We were both laughing when she reached her car first. I belted out the chorus, watched Carol wipe happy tears from her eyes, then I closed her car door and waved good-bye with my very best “small world” wave.

If this got you in a Small World type of mood, here’s a superb video of the ride shot in 4K last Christmas:
Doug Fabrizio won 1st place from the Utah Broadcaster’s association for his interview with us that year. Incidently, that same year, Kevin Stanfield of KUER got 2nd place, and Charla Haley of KISN Radio got third. All three winners that year interviewed my co-author and I. There were a few elements of each interview that were similar, but all three were unique and handled different aspects of Paperdolls.
