The Ladies of Norton Records on Crayons to Perfume!

This evening, with heavy heart I bring you an hour of the Ladies of Norton Records. It's my own way of commemorating Billy Miller, who along with Miriam, has brought us so much great music -- and so much of it that you hear around the clock on Rock'n'Soul Ichiban. Hear dear Miriam herself, La La Brooks, Althea & The Memories, Ruby Johnson and so many more - lotsa platter, little chatter so make sure you check out the live accu-playlist to see what's playing. It's all here at http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/69563... Tonight let's raise a glass to Billy, and to Miriam, as she forges along with Norton Records.

Billy Miller on Fool's Paradise with Rex 2008: Charlie Feathers Special

Here's Billy guesting on Fool's Paradise from 2008 promoting the 3 Charlie Feathers LP's that had just come out at the time. Great show. Billy's in top form talking about Charlie. My fave bit is when Billy says (paraphrasing here); "there's more to rockabilly than putting flames on your upright bass!"

We Love you Billy

I asked Debbie D if it was OK to post some WFMU shows that I have in my archive of Billy's appearances over the years.  She said yes, so here's a great one from Fool's Paradise with Rex. Billy and Lenny Kaye drop by the fur lined fall out shelter with a bunch of great Fortune Records sides. It's a great show, with great music and stories from all involved. From 2005.

Enjoy....
