When most children hear the lyrics "When You Wish Upon a Star" in the opening scene of Disney’s "Pinocchio," they think of the small green insect, Jiminy Cricket. When University of North Georgia professor Brad Strickland hears the song, he thinks of the man behind the cricket’s voice — Eddie Carroll. Strickland was so inspired by the man with the memorable voice, he jumped at the chance to write a book about him with Carroll’s wife, Carolyn. "(Eddie and I) had been friends for some time," Strickland said.
