Mrs. Miller - A Lover's Concerto (1966) Meryll Streep took the Florence Foster Jenkins Biopic on......Who'll do 'Mrs.' Elva Ruby Miller'?


The 'subject' of the missing Peter Max that was stolen from my dining room wall in the late 1970's......."Did you ever 'find' it?", a friend just asked......'No," I replied...but I did find the long lost Mrs. Miller record....and playing it, thought "I'm about the age she was when she made this recording!......"...get that microphone away and bury it with Florence Foster Jenkins! Actually, I know where the "Max" Yellow Submarine Artwork disappeared to, for I saw it on someone's living room wall, 20 years later! The lesson learned: Don't trust friends of friends of friends...anymore than you'd want to be Facebook friends with total strangers that are 'friends' of 'Friends'......

a compilation CD of her work was released on Capitol's Ultra-Lounge label titled Wild, Cool & Swingin': The Artist Collection Volume Three

Oregon -The Silence of a Candle (1972)



Another Album from the back of the dressing room closet...... a consolation prize from the early 1970's, from the tug of war between "The Ravi Shankar-lovers" and "Last Call With Ricky Nelson and Melanie"......as 'East Meets West'.....somewhere, between the ears of The Hopeful, where the "real action" is taking place......Yet, 'Action Jackson' survived, to satisfy the constant cravings as Don drove his Chevy to the Levy to the longings of Roberta Flack and Billy Preston, in orbit with Al Green, who just 'don't want to break up' with the Past........But, who wants to hear old Oregon 'cuts', when Tootsie Slide and Suga are gettin' down with Dance Monkey........?
