Mitch Miller died this weekend at the ripe old age of 99.  Seriously, who knew he was still alive.  Not I for one.
Anyway, those records where a staple of my youth at the grandparents house and played a role in my ever loving relationship with popular music.
There's even some excellent cheesy ads in this clip and Mitch's version of a "minstrel show".  Yikes. 
Now...let's all follow the bouncing ball!!

Not to mention he was maybe the strangest sideman to ever play with Charlie Parker...
BTW-- like what you've done to the place...
