Being a member of the band at any of the Disney Parks is no joke. You have to know how to read music, play multiple instruments, and be willing to march multiple times a day in any kind of weather. But to lead that band takes something else altogether. Stan Freese is a man who has done just that, in two different Disney Parks. We were lucky enough to have him on the show this week to talk to us about his book, "Music, Mayhem, and the Mouse: My "Tubazar" Life". In it, he details his start in music and how that led him to play in front of crowds from Russia to Walt Disney World and beyond. Stan's book is a must-read for anyone who likes park history, redemption stories - a fair amount of humbling experiences - all blended with a healthy dose of positivity. Basically, we've adopted Stan. ---------------- Support the show! Come watch us on Twitch!

In August of 1941, Walt and a team of composers, animators, storytellers, and directors, went on a research trip to South America on behalf ot the US Government. The goal was to gather enough materials to fill out a couple of projects, with a fair amount of goodwill thrown around, too. What Walt got out of the trip was not one but two great films, a series of weird shorts, and an education for his artists that would change the way the studio made films moving forward. ---------------- Support the show!
