Lefty, Adam Maxwell, Lil Orphan Andy, and others.

Joe Bev wrote Mel Blanc in 1972 and they became friends, with Blanc critiquing Bev's cassette recorded voices in nine page hand written notes on Bugs Bunny stationary, and several west coast visits in which Bev would sit in on recording sessions of "The Jetsons".


"My mentor Daws Butler was there as Elroy Jetson, Penny Singleton as Jane, Janet Waldo as Judy, Don Messick as Astro. I sat in the recording booth in between Mel Blanc (as Mr. Spacey) and Howard Morris (as The Nervous School Bus Driver). I learned from the masters. Mel was the greatest voice actor who ever lived. We all try live up to the standard he set in the 1930s," says Bev.
