Vincentennial Post #78 - Stage appearance, Portrait of Will Rogers

from the Robert Taylor collection

From Price's personal files--his script for a 1976 performance, an orchestral tribute to Oklahoma's native son, Will Rogers.  Everyone knows Vinnie as a film actor, and most fans are aware that he did TV and radio work, and that he had a long career as an actor on stage.  Less known are his stage appearances as a reader or narrator.  Price's smooth and elegant voice was a perfect addition to a number of orchestral works.
