Boy in Black
Who didn't want to be their hero when they were a kid? Personally, I wanted to be Superman...I still want to be Superman. Point being, few people bother to just run with that idea, but not David Michael Kimes Jr. a.k.a. John Henry. Young John Henry has become a midgity version of his mentor, the late Johnny Cash. With his "Meemaw" playing the role of June Carter, John Henry is aiming for country music stardom once he comes of age.
While this a good feel-good story, the St. Pete Times really could have done more with it. They got good pictures for the audio slide show, but, frankly, after the first two minutes of the five minute show, you get fidgety and start looking for something else to do. All in all, it's a good story, just bad delivery.
Stan the Man
While this site is also a audio slide show, it does something the previous one did not, meaning it keeps you interested. The Musial slide show cycles through the pictures quickly enough and gets enough different views of Musial that it keeps the audience interested. Plus it's short, unlike the five minute job on the previous site. I think one of the big differences is that the people who did this story for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch were probably more into their story the the people of the St. Pete Times. The other really cool thing about this site is that it has a series of pictures of Stan Musial throughout the ages along with audio from actual broadcasts of some of his greatest achievements. There is also a trivia section as well as a section for viewer comments.
