He said, \"I was thinking about it and doing a lot of research. I came to the thought that, well, you know, I'm thirty-one. Most of my generation knows a little bit about JFK obviously through school and their own research. But I wanted to recreate it. I wanted to recreate the assassination in a way.\" From the start, Martinez recognized that many of the people who would hear \"The Sixth Floor\" were not alive at the time of the assassination. He said, \"What I would like young students or young children to take away from it is that, you know, music is very, very, very much an important part of our lives. It tells a story through a different outlet, through a different cue. And I think if the students can feel half of what I felt, I think that would be really, really important.\" -- Stephen Fagin, Curator"]},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"65695"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Duration: 60 Minutes"}}]}
