Song<\/strong>: \u201cMeet the Flintstones\u201d by Hoyt Curtin, William Hanna, Joseph Barbera.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Earl Kress (1951-2011) probably did more to bring the music and audio of Hanna-Barbera–commercially and officially–to the public than anyone else in the nineties. Under the supervision and support of Fred Seibert, who remembers Earl here<\/a>, Earl restored and compiled hours of H-B music and songs, most for the first time. He worked tirelessly on behalf of the Hanna-Barbera legacy, as well as writing cartoons for the H-B and other studios including Disney and DePatie-Freleng. He was also instrumental in bonus features for Hanna-Barbera DVD collections. <\/p>\n

The albums Earl produced for Rhino included The Flintstones: Modern Stone Age Melodies, Hanna-Barbera Classics, Volume 1<\/em> and Hanna-Barbera Cartoon Sound FX<\/em>. The grand and glorious Hanna-Barbera\u2019s Pic-a-Nic Basket<\/em> 5-disc box set included these discs and was the only way to get Hanna-Barbera Classics, Volume 2. You can hear Earl tell his story, along with hours of Hanna-Barbera history with such veterans as Mark Evanier, Willie Ito, Jerry Eisenberg, Janet Waldo, June Foray and even Doug Young through the Stu\u2019s Show Archives<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Earl also wrote, produced, directed and performed voices in an original production for Rhino Records that was only released on audio cassette. The Flintstones Story<\/em> recreates moments from the lives of the modern stone-age family through sequences adapted from series scripts and original sections that could have taken place during the ABC primetime run.<\/p>\n

The Flintstones Story<\/em> offers a humorous explanation of how Bedrock got its name worthy of early H-B writer and pun master Charles Shows; plus sequences about the meeting of Wilma and Betty as youngsters, Fred and Barney in school, and the circumstances surrounding the Flintstone and Rubble marriages. <\/p>\n\"\"\n

Kress adapted \u201cBachelor Daze\u201d by Ralph Goodman and Herbert Finn, in which the foursome work at a posh resort pretending to be affluent;\u201cDress Rehearsal\u201d a.k.a. \u201cThe Blessed Event\u201d by Harvey Bullock and R.S. Allen; describing the circumstances surrounding Pebbles\u2019 birth, and the final Flintstones episode about Grandpa Flintstone, \u201cThe Story of Rocky\u2019s Raiders\u201d by Joanna Lee.<\/p>\n
