NOTES

Read by Joe Bevilacqua

This audio collection of wildly whimsical works was written by legendary cartoon voice magician Daws Butler (Yogi Bear) and voiced entirely by Daws Butler protégé Joe Bevilacqua. Butler wrote the scenes for his acting sensitivity workshop, which spawned such talent as Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson), Corey Burton (Disney), and Joe Bevilacqua. "This was the most difficult audiobook I have ever created," admits Bev, who trained under his mentor's tutelage and calls Butler, a truly original writer-a cross between James Thurber and Dr. Seuss." Daws makes you work! I'm playing all the parts and trying to sound natural while doing a different voice and body placement for each-even the women-and trying to be as live as possible with few retakes." Tales include: Margery Dickerson, My Brunch with A Godot Not Home Revisited, Somewhere Along the Line, Blur, The Flea, Relating, Cocktail Party, The Muffin Man, Table Talk, Words, Ursula Popped the Question, Italian Restaurant, and Who's Afraid of a Virginian's Wrath? Goldilocks and the Three Berry Bears. Ravishing, Isn't It - Or Is It? Mary Had a Lachrymose Lamb, Don't Ever Knock Punctuality, The Lil Bitty Bit, and Jack Robinson at Your Service
