WILL ROGERS, Reflections and Observations 1929-1935

Often called the "Voice of the American people," Will Rogers as commentator, columnist and humorist had plenty to say about American life. Dietz's easy manner and folksy narrative is a good match for the Rogers' distinctive style. Rogers makes observations on everything from politics to current events to the common man. The recording is enhanced by an introduction to each piece which is presented in "newsreel" style, setting the tone and context for the essays. Taken in historical context, the program provides more than recreational reading. C.A.K. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 94]
