Classic children"s music from the 1950s! Known to millions as Mr. Green jeans from the Captain Kangaroo TV show, Lumpy Brannum recorded these charming stories about Orley"s adventures on his family farm. Accompanied by the skillful orchestrations of Fred Waring & His Pennsylvanians, Uncle Lumpy originally performed the stories for radio, TV and on several popular Decca records. Uncle Lumpy uses clever word play and humor to convey subtle but important life lessons. Brannum"s wry storytelling combines a loving "Beverly Hillbillies"-style view of rural life with the slick production of 1950s radio orchestra production. Over the years, the Little Orley stories have achieved a cult status and have been sought after by collectors for many years. Often requested on the Dr. Demento radio show, nostalgic fans can still quote the dialogue of their favorite Orley story. Uncle Goose Toys is pleased to revive this long out-of-print children"s favorite. This CD (LO-1) is the first of a 3 CD series cataloging the entire output of Little Orley stories.
