"Clip-filled tribute to a master character actor"

A lively tribute to the life of character actor and cartoon voice Alan Reed, spiced by background music and audio clips of radio/TV shows and movies. Most of it is read by Alan Reed Jr. (whose father had died in 1977) but there are some bits spoken by Reed himself from 1970s interviews. Joe Barbera is heard commenting on Alan's work with The Flintstones (as Fred) and the creation of the series. Bill Marx narrates some letters Fred Allen wrote to Reed.

Teddy Bergman, later to become Alan Reed, was determined to be a stage actor, including a job in Oklahoma City and a dramatic academy. He found his way into what we now call old time radio (comedy/drama) and there are many clips of hilarious or dramatic moments from Baby Snooks, The Shadow, Fred Allen (where he did the Falstaff character), The Mel Blanc Show (an early partnership, years before they played Fred and Barney). Movie clips, too, and it's amazing to hear all the parts Alan played over the years. Joe Bevilacqua, who turns up doing some narration, puts in backing music and various clips which make this a nostalgia trip into the Golden Age of Radio. I really enjoyed all the clips, the inside info, and the journey into the life of a skillful character actor--the man who decided the best way to express Fred Flintstone's exuberance at life was to shout out, "Yabba Dabba Doo!"

The Joe Bev Experience

The Art of Audio #1

"Did you hear THAT?"

My dad bought me a Panasonic cassette recorder in 1971, I was 12 years old.

Listen to my Father's Day story for NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday

It was the beginning of summer. June. Last day of school. The smell of cut grass as a walk up our driveway. Clear blue sky. Sun on my face and arms. Dad trimming a bush in front of our house.

Me (Joe Bev.) in 1963

I remember the day so well because it was the day my future was set. I soon became an audio artist.

I had been drawing a series of silly nine panel cartoons of Willaby and the Professor, as I called them then. Hundreds of pages. Serialized. In Hanna-Barbera style. Ring around the mouth.

Listen to me improvising Willaby (Willoughby)
Meets the Godfather in 1972 when I was 13

Now I had a way to record their voices!

Men, women, young, old, babies, dogs, cats, otters, every accent on the planet poured out of my mouth.

Within a few years, I was on the radio. Reel to reel. Stereo. Digital. 3-D.

Listen to Chapter 17 of Ancient Rising by Jc De La Torre.

Today my work is enjoyed around the world. That makes me happy! 

But how can audio be art? Tune in next time and find out...

Best to you all,

Joe Bev.
