Walter Tetley - For Corn's Sake

By: Ben Ohmart

Old Time Radio fans still love hearing Walter Tetley as Leroy in episodes of The Great Gildersleeve and as the obnoxious grocery boy, Julius, on The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show. New generations grow to love him each year through his voice characterizations in animated cartoons, such as Sherman on Mr. Peabody, Felix the Cat, and Andy Panda. You might even remember the electric utility mascot, Reddy Kilowatt on commercials throughout the 1960s-1970s. The perennial boy who never grew up survived on talent and determination, yet his life was far from animated. His inspiring yet poignant tale encloses his secret challenges of loneliness, isolation, and overcoming disabilities. Discover his stirring story in this revised Second Edition by prolific author Ben Ohmart, a complete biography drawn from Walter's personal scrapbooks and family memorabilia. More than 200 pages, including many rare photos that were previously unavailable and an extensive List of Credits. "Very well done, and fascinating."- Jim Harmon, OTR author "It is an ultimately sad story to be sure, but it is also a story to be treasured." -Radiogram/Rodney Bowcock, Jr. "So little has been written, and when a book does come along and attempts to tell the whole story, while also giving us a fine appreciation of his work, well, I'm happy. Includes an incredible list of credits." - Classic Images/Laura Wagner

Buddy Baker

Big Band Arranger, Disney Legend & Musical Genius

By: Ben Ohmart

Buddy Baker was Disney music. Mostly known as the composer of The Haunted Mansion song and score, he also was a composer of films (Wicked Woman, The Fox and the Hound), TV shows (the original Mickey Mouse Club), and numerous theme park attractions (World of Motion, Wonders of China, Kitchen Kaberet, Impressions de France) around the globe. From a humble beginning in Springfield, Missouri, Buddy Baker began composing and arranging music at an early age. He worked for many of the top big bands, then began arranging music on hit radio shows (The Bob Hope Show, The Eddie Cantor Show, The Jack Benny Program) before getting into film. His 30+ year career with the Walt Disney Company put him at the top of his field, working alongside many of the greats, including Walt Disney himself. This is Buddy's story. Not a book on Disney music, but a tribute to one of the greatest musical minds the world has ever known. His music will play on forever.
