The Observer mourns the loss of Steve Cannon. Every morning before going to class in college, there would be an intense discussion over breakfast of whatever Ma Linger had been up to the night before.
It always amazed my grandmother, who was 85 at the time, that somehow after being up half the night "cavorting around" Ma Linger could seem pretty chipper on the radio.
I never had the heart to tell her that Steve Cannon was doing her voice. Click on the post for the full story and access to some of the radio clips.

Not possible that he was 81. That would make us...well, old.
