Saw a least a couple mention they listened to Spike Jones and PDQ Bach growing up, which were frequent listens in my household.  Got to see Peter Schickele once with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra as a youth, pretty sure I still have his Best of Wurst album buried in the record collection.

Just 22 when she charmed the festival crowd, she went on to enjoy success with songs like “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)” and “Brand New Key.”

Brian Griffin photographer of many iconic 80s album covers

Apparently, when he showed up shoot Joe Jackson he said he hesitated because he couldn't turn him into a rockstar, then saw his shoes…

Wayne Kramer. This one hurts. I got to meet him a few times and he was absolutely lovely. Just a heck of a sweet, talented, and beautiful soul.
