Born blind as Joe Engressia in Richmond, Va., Joybubbles used his refined senses of sound and scent detection to make his unorthodox way in a strange world. He changed his name legally to Joybubbles and said his life was arrested at age 5.Amid a lifetime of collecting teddy bears and other toys, he stumbled onto the telephone networkand began using his perfect pitch and whistling ability to place free calls over the 2,600-Hz phone frequency, much to the consternation of telephone companies. He said he also worked for years in Minnesota smelling hog feces, using his acute sense of smell for profit.As a phone phreak, he was a harbinger of future computing hacking. Joybubbles even worked for a Baby Bell phone company for a few years, although he left, as he once told an interviewer: "I quit as far as their payroll was concerned, but I continued the next day doing the same things they were paying me $400 a week for. It made no difference to me. Especially now that I'm a child."Joybubbles recorded several different story-by-telephone programs for children that were often praised for their originality and lively content. He said he loved getting "on the phone with a little kid and singing the Barney song with them." Joybubbles added that he was an ordained minister in his own church of Eternal Childhood Spirituality.
