Music Millennium (of Portland, Oregon) announced this special event on Facebook.

The Kingsmen’s guitarist was Mike Mitchell, an amazing guitarist and an amazing […] Rusty Warren, the groundbreaking bawdy female comic, died in her sleep on Tuesday morning at 91 years old. Warren was a lounge and nightclub performer who released a bunch of comedy albums containing songs with naughty lyrics. At the height of her success, alongside such contemporaries as Lenny Bruce, Redd Foxx and others, she […] We recently lost yet another fine individual that’s collaborated with the LOUIE documentary project.

In 1963, Arnie was a very popular disk jockey on radio station WMEX in Boston, Massachusetts. In a time when most Top-40 DJs were given non-descript, non-ethnic […] I was hoping not to write any more obituaries for people that I’ve met that have provided support for this documentary project.
