... yma sumac is no william shatner...

Yeah. One can sing (I'll leave it to the individuals opinion, of course) :wink:

Was great to see Bunny Yeager again. Met her once before 15 years ago at a Florida Motion Picture and Television Association meeting in Orlando. Had no idea who she was, but someone mentioned Betty Page. I asked a friend who was a collector of vintage goodies and he turned me on to her. Wait. That didn't sound right...
Got both Yma and Bunny's autographs. Very glad I did. Unlike the Dr. Who autographs I got back in high school. Still labels me a geek to this day.
Yma was great. She signed both the inside and the outside of my 45rpm box set of Legend of the Sun Virgin and said "Vhen you lhay jour head doooown upon jour pillow at night to schleep, you put thees on, and jou will be taken away to fhar avay lands and peeeceful dreams".
BTW- I love both Yma Sumac AND Wm. Shatner's singing. I get a real tingly feeling the first time I play either for someone and watch their reactions. Not the same effect as Mrs. Miller or the Shaggs, but still classic.
Anybody heard Q-Burn's Abstract Message's remix of Gopher? Wonder if Yma has...
