First Kinky now Martin. We lost another great musical comic the other day. Most people may know Mull from his decades as a comic actor on TV but before all that he was a songwriter and a fine guitarist who wrote hilarious songs and sang them out on tour. He also recorded a number of comedy LPs, my favorite was "Normal". I saw him once live in D.C. back in the 70's when he was on tour with "...His Fabulous Furniture" and howled with laughter.

I owned a 45 record of his Called "Dueling Tubas", an obvious sendup of the "Dueling Banjos" craze of the early 70s. The B-side was "The 2001 Polka". It amazed me that a couple of instrumentals could be so funny.
