The origin of the stump

David Lynch only needed one photo to “psychically understand what I could contribute to this project”in Al’s words. From that moment on, Lynch trusted him and their relationship became ever closer, so much so that the director dedicated a few lines to him in his book ‘Room to Dream’: “I heard Al Strobel’s voice, he has an amazing voice, and from there I had to write something for him”.
