I have been watching a Spike Jones DVD and decided to take a look on some information on some of the folks in the band.

Sir Frederick Gas died two months ago. RIP

Wow.

You know, of course, that Doodles Weaver is Sigourney Weaver's uncle.

When I was 13 I got the measles. And for reasons too complicated to explaine here, I was living with an older couple at the time. The man was friends with the trombone (trumpet?)player from the Spike Jones Orchestra. He had many recordings and photos. I listned to Spike jones in a dark room with a high fever for two or three days.
I think it may have been formative.

Dr. Demento did a tribute to him a couple weeks ago.
