[78-L] Twins separated at birth?

[David Lennick]

Good old Tubby. I had that when I was barely old enough to dribble on a record, 
much less play it (that copy is still intact). I got a real blast a few years 
ago when I found a mint VINYL pressing of it in Cleveland. That was the one I 
used on a CD reissue for Naxos AudioBooks. The Danny Kaye version just doesn't 
come near it..far too fey, for one thing, as well as read at a breakneck speed 
(and cut at 76RPM) to squeeze it onto two twelve-inch sides.

I had never heard this one before, and was immediatelystruck by how similar Jory's narrative style was to that of Dwight Fiske.I was a bit young when those artists were working, and wouldn't besurprised to learn that many other actors plied the same tools of thetrade: lots of shifts between loud/soft, fast/slow, all for dramatic orhumorous effect.I couldn''t help but be surprised that these very different types ofrecord, one for kids, the other for adults, featured such similar delivery.Best,Rod_______________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l
