I’ve loved Mrs. Miller since I first heard her lo some 10 years ago.

Wing sounds like Noo Zilland’s answer to Sondra Prill, & for that she deserves to be immortal. Thank you for sharing those utter gems.

nb: my wife does not find bad music nearly as entertaining as I do.

Yeah, Uncle B has better taste than I have, so he finds these things awfully painful. Not me. Nothing tickles me quicker than a really lousy musical act.

Also, I have to say, I have no small admiration for these ladies. Just getting up there and taking the hits.

Well, it took a while for my eyeballs to spin back around to the front of my head, so I can post on this. Thanks Sweas; Mrs. Miller got me chuckling pretty good. I’m old enough to have encountered a number of these when they came out, but the memory … eh, she is not so good. Most of this sounds like the tryouts for American Idol that I have (unfortunately) seen.

Also, I deeply resent the implication that I do not have great musical tastes. I like everything that people tell me I should like!

Somewhat off the topic….but I received my Weasel Art ™ in the mail, earlier this week, and I am d-f’n-lighted!

I am now pondering re-entry into the death pool, if any reasonable picks remain.

I am pondering the concept of a Weasel Art ™ wall.

Profuse thank yous, Ms. Weasel!

Billy Hung has also been spotted at the Little Tokyo dojo in L.A. practicing karate – no one there knew of his celebrity – or maybe they did and just kept the bitey nicey on the lower lippy

I’ve never heard of or heard any of these people you’re referring to here. Its like I stumbled upon an alternate reality.

Dear Christopher Taylor,

Here is a nice starting point for outsider music & very badgoodobdadog noises:

Please enjoy in finest health, mental as well.

Oh, thank you, Christopher Taylor! I was beginning to feel like I was the only one!

Me too, Can’t Hark and Christopher. Selected Short Subjects at the Weasel Theater of Performing Arts. Although I did have the Inner Sounds of Id album in 1966. Not quite the same as Mrs. Miller, but still … who knew?

Steve, you are not to read anything in to the fact I sent you a picture of a big pig. M’kay?

Wow… there is a reason for their obscurity. I think LSD is my favorite.

Long ago and far away, Merv Griffin (in the days of his syndicated Westinghouse talk show, held in a tiny studio in NYC) used to continually refer to a “Mrs. Miller.” Is that supposed to be the same person/character? The TCM website has this: “. . . as well as the curious Lillian Miller (a.k.a. Mrs. Miller), an elderly woman who frequently appeared in talk show audiences and conversed with the hosts. Mrs. Miller appeared on Griffin’s shows until he retired from hosting in 1986.”

I liked Merv Griffin’s early show better even than Johnny Carson’s in the New York days. Anybody could show up, from Jack Carter to Joanne Worley (pre-“Laugh-In”), Rodney Dangerfield, Dick Clair and Jenna McMahon, early (clean) Richard Pryor — you name it. But I don’t recall an actual Mrs. Miller.

No, this Mrs. Miller is Elva. Apparently.

So far, I gots me a skull and a pig….

There may be a story forming….but I think I need at last one more paragraph, before I can see where you are going with this…..
