Re-recording the 1969 "Story and Song of the Haunted Mansion"

Jeff Baham writes, “On July 10, 2015, the Mousetalgia podcast invited Disney voice artists Mark Silverman (‘Twilight Zone Tower of Terror’), Margaret Kerry (red-headed mermaid in ‘Peter Pan’) and Peter Renaday (‘Country Bear Jamboree’) to re-create the 1969 ‘Story and Song of the Haunted Mansion’ Disneyland Record live, recording their single take around a table while enjoying a lunch of submarine sandwiches.”

“The recording is most notable because Renaday is the original voice of the ‘Ghost Host’ from the record, which he recorded over 46 years ago, and this is the first time he has revisited the script since the album was released. Renaday is the ‘Ghost Host’ voice that most ’70s ‘monster kids’ recognize beyond even the Disney ride’s actual narrator, Paul Frees, so listening to Renaday revisit his original character is a treat.”
