I heard somewhere years ago that, "Ho, ho, ho." was the most lucrative voice gig ever. Still true? Dunno.

He hasn't left us. He lives in my pantry, on two cans of green beans.

This is so strange. Today I had a local (deep) voice artist in here (opera and stage singer, voice-overs) to put together his updated voice demo. One of the pieces from his archives that he played for me, but rejected, was his own rendition of "From the valley of the jolly (ho, ho, ho) Green Giant".

The Jolly Green Giant peas in the valley. :o



Sorry for the 3rd grade humor. It's always been one of my favs.
