Of all the Disney blogs I frequent, this is the one I have enjoyed most. I feel silly that I haven't let you know before now how much I appreciate the insights and effort that go into all your work. <BR/><BR/>I read with great interest (and understanding!) your comments a while back about needing to keep things, including one's hobbies, in perspective. I thought it was wise and healthy to take a step back from it all, though I confess I missed your regular posts. I can only hope that your have achieved that balance you described, and I wish you all the best in the new year. Keep up the great work--we really enjoy it--but never lose sight of the things that are truly important in life. Congrats also on bringing in George Taylor as co-blogger. A fine choice! Take care and thanks again.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14228706618842896848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-41123485654417365182009-01-13T12:21:00.000-05:002009-01-13T12:21:00.000-05:00I cannot remember which podcast had the audio but ...I cannot remember which podcast had the audio but a couple years back they aired "outtakes" of this talented voice talent where he was just ad-libbing like mad and moving between many of his different famous voices.<BR/><BR/>It was hilarious and at the time reminded me of what Robin Williams is notorious for doing and driving his directors crazyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070035707769272213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-72011404742146578362009-01-13T11:07:00.000-05:002009-01-13T11:07:00.000-05:00It is wonderful to know the album is available at ...It is wonderful to know the album is available at itunes. I used to read the comics in Brazil, where I am from. Ludwig got immensely popular down there, his name was "Ludovico"and the surname "sabe tudo", that means "knows it all" was added. People used to compare those that knew a lot- or to call them that name- to Ludwig. How nostalgic!

His Wonderful World of Color segments were my absolute favorite, and not only were they ridiculously comical but they were actually informative for kids. The mix of entertainment and information in children's programing is a lost art now days. <BR/><BR/>great article Jeff!Thomas Philliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806210563491197865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-67278724102575760262009-01-12T22:39:00.000-05:002009-01-12T22:39:00.000-05:00Great article once again, Jeff.Some of the classic...Great article once again, Jeff.<BR/><BR/>Some of the classic Disney LPs that I'd like to see you cover in future "Vintage Vinyl" entries are "Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House" (both the 1964 and 1978 versions), the "Donald Duck in Trick or Treat" storyteller LP and the various park attraction soundtrack/storyteller LP's (Tiki Room, Small World, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Country Bears, Hall of Presidents, America Sings, etc.).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-53453279372343265392009-01-12T22:36:00.000-05:002009-01-12T22:36:00.000-05:00I could not agree with you more.

Of everything that he did, LVD was far and away my favorite. <BR/><BR/>My current favorite is Corey Burton, and not coincidentally, he's Disney's choice to match up new voice overs to Free's classic ones.Inkydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03122663541047821615noreply@blogger.com
