Thread Name: Origins: Old Rivers (Walter Brennan recording)
Subject: RE: Walter Brennan's 'Ol' Rivers'
Does anyone remember the spate of recordings circa 1961-62 where a story was told via a compilation of pertinent lines from current pop songs? One of them (can't remember title or plot line) ended with Walter Brennon saying, "That mule, Old Rivers, and me."

Funny as hell, though.

BTW, I could listen all day to Everett Dirkson (or my high school English teacher Elmer Dobberfuhl) read the phone book. What voices!
