Thread Name: Origins: Old Rivers (Walter Brennan recording)
Subject: RE: Walter Brennan's 'Ol' Rivers'
Bat Goddess, that narration of Walter Brennan's was the topic of this thread, Ol' Rivers.

Also the James Earl Jones voice is awesome. Did you ever see the biography on how he developed his phenomonal voice? Reminds me the story of Lonre Greene. Apparently, before he left the land of the free to work in the land down south, he was a newcaster on Canada's CBC, radio and I'm not sure if he was on TV as well. While there, he kept working to lower his speaking voice, until it got to what we know as "Pa Cartwright"'s voice.

Reminds me, one of these days, I'll have to post on the WORST song ever thread. Go look up the words to the Bonanza theme song! Really bad!
