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. -- From the Department of Bistromatics: Chuq Von Rospach {cbosgd,decwrl,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA I'd know those eyes from a million years away....
