| Me as Stanley. "I certainly am!" Listen to me as Stan, Babe & Finn! |
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy made some great silent classics. Putting Pants on Phillip was released December 3, 1927 – their first official film. But Stan and Ollie really excelled when
sound was added to film. Their distinct voices matched their physical personalities. The jazzy background music matched their comic timing.
I've been doing my impression of "The Boys" since I was could first talk. As a young child in the early 1960s, I watched Chuck McCann brilliantly pay homage to them on his WPIX and WNEW New York TV shows.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Craig Marin the great Flexitoons creator-puppeteer who, as a mere teenager, got to work with Chuck.

You can hear that interview, plus ones with Mel Blanc, June Foray and many cartoon legends on my new audio release The Best of Cartoon Carnival Volume One.
