We missed this one:

Mitch Miller

I read this last night and sang "Must Be Santa" the rest of the night. RIP Mitch Miller.

As a child, I used to follow the bouncing ball. Why? Who knows?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that now has passed the last host of all the various weird-assed shows of my childhood.

But I thought she was a robot!

I do remember the 1970s and I also watched S&Y every week. I loved that show.

(Pic Related -- its The Clinkers!)

I used to hear ole Mitch on air during the KCRW pledge drives. He was still going strong as little a few months ago. I liked his style.

:(

always loved their work. I was talking about them not long ago with someone far too young to have seen it.

RIP

Today's unnecessarily unnecessary factoid:
