The Art of Audio #4: "Another Fine Mess"

The Joe Bev Experience

The Art of Audio #4

"Another Fine Mess"

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.

Hear the greats talk about their work!

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.

I'll be on CULT RADIO A-GO-GO THIS Saturday, as "L&H"! Listen to me as "The Boys" here!

TUNE IN LIVE!!!

 

I am also the Vice Sheik and Ballywhosit of the “Them Thar Hills” tent 284 local of The Sons of the Desert, the international Laurel and Hardy appreciation society, located in Ellenville, NY.

In 1987, I created a video tribute (visually) performed by Alison Nead as Oliver Hardy, Ron Willoughby as James Finlayson, and me as Stan Laurel. I am the voice of all three characters. Watch it below!

Fields in THE FATAL GLASS OF BEER; and the Tent premiere of Stan and Babe in their Christmas Tree classic BIG BUSINESS. 

 
Guests are welcome! Email me for directions.

My work is not all fun and games, however. I have a serious side too! Don't believe me? Well, then, tune in next time and find out!

Best to you all,

Joe Bev.
