Bob Honey Sings Jimmy Crack Corn by Sean Penn

From Sean Penn, author of Bob Honey Sings Jimmy Crack Corn.

Listening to L.J. Ganser’s Amazon Audible reading, or more specifically, performance, of my book Bob Honey Sings Jimmy Crack Corn, made me realize the material is more befitting raconteurism than writing per se. For those who may have been confused by my tale of Mr. Honey in written form, I can assuredly point them to Mr. Ganser’s extraordinarily talented raconteurism. He makes the fucker sing.

L.J. Ganser is incredibly talented. He provided each character with such a rich and distinct voice. He has an uncanny gift for rhythm, and every sentence was uniquely beautiful. He knows exactly how to bring words to life.

LJ Ganser did the audio version of my book, RUN THE STORM: A SAVAGE HURRICANE, A BRAVE CREW, AND THE WRECK OF THE SS EL FARO (Scribner, May 2018). I was pretty much awestruck by his work. He clearly had read the book carefully and using both his performance and voice skills, inhabited the people and narrative in a way that drew the reader in and involved him/her in the story. At the same time he was crystal clear in diction and rhythm: everyone I’ve talked to who first encountered my book on audio loved his version, to the point where I was almost jealous. I can’t recommend Mr. Ganser highly enough for audio versions of any book I can think of.

RECENT AUCTION:
2019: The spring “Wild Bird Fund Flocktail Party” auction which I did at the Central Park Birdhouse.

L.J. Ganser served as host and auctioneer for the 2019 Wild Bird Fund Flocktail Fundraiser at the Central Park Boathouse on April 17. This was the largest event of the kind we have attempted, and L.J. was a key to its success. He was an upbeat and entertaining host, and the auction was excellently managed. He had taken the time to learn about our organization, and it showed in his presentations. He read the temperature of the room expertly and helped maximize our return on auction items. I recommend L.J. Ganser, and definitely plan to work with him at our next fundraiser.

I was thrilled while listening to LJ Ganser’s interpretation of my father’s seminal work, “Life at the Dakota.” LJ’s tenor and cadence does honor to my father’s aspiration to enthrall as many readers (or listeners) as possible; it’s a joy!

L.J. Ganser has the uncanny, near psychic ability to capture the very voice of the characters I had in mind while writing “Gods of Wood and Stone.”
I wrote a decidedly masculine book and L.J. read it with the baritone intonations to match.
On a more nuanced note, L.J. picked up the intended cadence and rhythm of my sentences. That is music to the ears of every writer.
