For forty-five years, Stan Freese dedicated his life to bringing live entertainment magic to the Disney Parks around the world. From marching bands to rock groups, circus aerialists to wild animals, and beyond, Stan filled park stages and street corners with quality performers to carry on Disney's legacy of fine family entertainment. But some of the shenanigans he came into weren't always family friendly—both inside and outside the parks.
Filled with incredible insights, crazy stories, and sober reflection, Music, Mayhem and the Mouse is a journey through the remarkable life of a Midwestern tuba player turned entertainment impresario. It's an eyewitness account of aspects of Disney Parks history seldom covered. And it's an inspiring story of personal struggle and redemption.
