June Foray's birthday

 

Voice One

#108 was last Thursday, Sept 18.  The task of going through the immense quantity of her work for a representative sample was beyond us this year, so I merely compiled some items from Jay Ward Productions, mostly Fractured Fairy Tales.  

Although I could have started with what she was doing 20 years before that.  One of the treats of listening to Old Time Radio is hearing voices you recognize, and you can hear Ralphy Phillips' sincere and earnest young mom doing radio back in the day.  

Her work on FFT is basically four voices- Witch Hazel, the Nice Lady, the New York Gal and Ma Kettle.  You'll also hear her as Rocket J Squirrel, Natasha Fatale, the Newsboy, Nell Fenwick, and probably others.  She's assisted by Paul Frees, Bill Conrad, Bill Scott, Daws Butler and Edward Everett Horton.  

I closed it with the outro for Bullwinkle's Corner, which was part of the show she was usually not on.  But I realized, a little while ago, it's the musical equivalent to a vaudeville curtain coming down: screaming pullies, the double-thump.  Seemed appropriate (but if I do a bit for Bill Scott, he's out of luck).

Happy Birthday, June (4:15)
