Evanier on Freberg #1

It appears that Mark Evanier is going to start posting long tales about the wonderful Stan Freberg, who passed away yesterday.  Given that Mark was such good friends with the fellow, and worked with him, as well, and is one of the best storytellers I know, I'm guessing they should be required reading.



The first piece is about Freberg's classic Stan Freberg Presents The United States of America -- Volume 1: The Early Years, and why it took 35 years for Volume 2 to get done.



He mentions that his next tale will be about the making of that Volume 2 (on which Mark worked).  What he doesn't mention yet is that Volume 2 was released by Rhino Records.  Rhino's president at the time was Harold Bronson, a fellow I know -- and have always been proud that he was the one who put out Volume 2.



You can read the first one here.
