My memories of Richard M. Sherman
Просмотров 7613 месяца назад
Disney Legend hardly is enough to describe Richard M. Sherman, who with his brother Robert B. Sherman, wrote some of Disney's best classic songs! It's a Small World, the music of Mary Poppins, Winnie the Pooh, The Tiki Room, and so much more. Richard passed away today at the age of 95. I will cherish the memories of my times with him.

    EXCELLENT show, Scott! (I feel like I always say that. 😀) I especially loved all the great details and "hidden" gems in your photos. When I was a kid in the early 70's, my dad worked for Pepsi and we always got the left balcony/stage seat with his "VIP" status. I remember Wally so well, and was convinced those teeth were real. It was a thrill for me to meet him in person a couple of times before he left us. Talk about a Disney Legend! Looking forward to your next show, Lannie Bartlett

    What a lovely video! It has so much detail. I loved it. Thank you for allowing me to attend Wally's memorial. It was so kind of you to invite me. Wally was always my hero and graciously wrote me a few times over the years. [Yes, I still have my signed Boag-a-loons box.] Keep up the good work of sharing the many wonderful worlds of Disney! Give my love to your wife, Shani, the best Disney Travel person in the world! Jan V.

    This was the first time I viewed one of your videos, very nicely done. Cicily Rigdon was a very good friend of mine. I met her briefly while I was an attractions host on the"West side" and University Leader. during Disneylands 25th anniversary. She was fully responsible at that time for the Ambassador program. I was able to travel internationally with here for a few years when I was working for various Anaheim hotels in sales and marketing and we participated in many tourism campaigns with the Anaheim Tourism Bureau promoting Disneyland and the area throughout Australia, and New Zealand, A Disneyland treasure to ber sure her stories and recollections of Walt were all priceless. I am forwarding your video to one of her daughters to insure they see it. Cicily so enjoyed telling the story that she had applied initially for a job at Disneyland shortly after it opened and was rejected, not once but four times, then on the fifth time she finally got a job. She was so excited on the drive home that she accidentally drove through the garage doorl. Her sense of humor was remarkable. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

    So wonderful that you got to see him many times. Richard Sherman was who I wanted to meet more than anyone else in the world. I feel very blessed to be a friend of Leonard Maltin’s daughter Jessie and she always kept me updated on how he was doing. I was really hoping that I’d get to see him while he was still here, but I’m glad he lived a long life at almost 96. I loved that Leonard and Jessie Maltin did a podcast with him back in 2016. I hope to meet Karen Dotrice sometime soon and ask her about Richard.

    This is awesome! I watch "Wheel" all the time and was researching Jim recently since I love voiceover so much. I didn't know he was in the Monsters Inc. rides, too; that's so cool! Jim mentioned the Haunted Mansion, which reminded me: Have you ever considered interviewing Corey Burton? Although Corey gives limited interviews, he loves talking to people who are passionate about Disney history and have done their research, both of which you do a great job of highlighting. (I run a fanpage dedicated to Corey on Twitter/X, which is how I know of his preferences--not to brag, but I do my research, too.)🙂

      I'm glad you learned something about Jim! Voice over talent is certainly a very important part of shows! I always loved the recording sessions back when I worked for Disney. Corey would probably make a great interview - he's probably the most versatile voice over actor there is. I'm not sure how to get in touch with him. Maybe it can happen sometime. I sure appreciate your compliments and your kind words! Thank you for writing!

It doesn't take very much thought to see how many of the costs for that production could have been offset by tax deductions.
