It was actually Bill Wambsganss reading Grantland Rice in the audio version of The Glory of Their Times, which I co-produced and edited with Neal McCabe. And speaking of mistakes, the most egregious in the Burns production was not using the real voices for his many quotes from GOTT. I've always suspected Burns of wanting the chance to hang out with the actors he has reading the bits, but nobody, and I mean NOBODY, could top the real guys Ritter captured on his tape recorder. Anybody who's listened to the set knows what I mean. And lastly, as a big Bix fan, I would love to see footage of him playing. I've always assumed none existed.
Here's the complete poem "The Way of the Game" as read by "Wamby" on GOTT: Now summer goes and tomorrow's snows Will soon be deep. And skies of blue, which the summer knew See shadows creep. And the gleam tonight, which is silver bright Spans ghostly forms. As the winds rush by with their warning cry Of coming storms. So the laurel fades in the snow-swept glades Of flying years. As the dreams of youth find the bitter truth Of pain and tears. Through the cheering mass let the victors pass To find fate's thrust. As tomorrow's fame writes another name On drifting dust.
