Bobbys on bicycles
Two by two.."

Yeah, he was terrific. Saw him once performing at a city-sponsored block party in Tacoma, about a thousand years ago.

my original thread on Stephanie Miller, filling in, during the old Imus spot early next week on MSNBC that is what prompted the run on famous Millers.

I loved Roger Miller too. My Mom had his greatest hits and I played it all the time.

I can't remember did he do a cover of Winchester Cathedral or was that someone else?

8. If Roger had sung jazz, he would have been Mel Torme.

Think about it. :think:

I miss him--he was a hoot.
