The last of the lot, could be the best as well.
Stan Freberg plays George Washington, Peter Leeds
is the boatman, and Barney Phillips is an absolute
joy as the Lieutenant…the latter puts forth an
emotional display that is quite entertaining.
Parody, satire, whatever you want to call it, this
1961 recording is superb in every way.
Keeping it alive and in circulation seems like the
right thing to do, respect goes out to all involved
in this masterpiece…Peter Leeds, Jesse White,
June Foray, Byron Kane, Barney Phillips, Marvin
Miller, Helen Kleeb, Walter Tetley, Stan Freberg,
and the incredible Paul Frees!
