Her name was 'sue lou' (spelling probably wrong) and she was great. She
even opened for a couple of local concerts during her day. Barnes and
Barnes did 'fish heads' and got their start with the Good Dr. as well as
Weird Al. A little known fact is that the group Devo was played by the Dr.
a couple of years before they cut their first record-- in fact I believe
'We are Devo' was first played on that show. Last time I was in LA the 
Dr. had gone off live radio-- KMET now plays the same 2 hour syndication
show that we all get to hear rather than the old 4 hour live show. sigh.
