Just curious, do any of my Philly-based or -rooted blogrollers have any of Sally's discs? I grew up watching Miss Fran in Storyland who had doctorate and was a tad too ivory tower. Sally looks like a cousin of the Del Rubios.
UPDATE: As Sally would say: "Good luck and lollipops!"
I will email my cousin larry who lives in philly, is an incredible collector and archivist of more things than I ever imagined (and like you a junk savant.) the time I visited his booty cache I wandered for well over an hour and was simply out of my mind with wonder!. perhaps he has some sally discs in his lair. will get back to you on this!
She was a little before my time in Philly, but I did manage to see her at a Pride Fest in the late 90's. My friends and I had no idea who she was...but we did know she was FABULOUS! How those old queens did carry on when she came out on stage!
Jill - Thanks for that insight. At least you've actually SEEN her. Did she sing any moon songs? I'm not sure how I came across her, but she looks wonderful. She was at GAY Pride? Oh, I bet she was on Jerry Falwell's list.
Location: San Francisco, California, United States
JunkThief is your typical Gallic Jew boy born on the Great Plains, went to Gotham and Ouagadougou and Kathmandu before settling in San Francisco's Mission District. Now he searches the dark alleys of that city to find good conversation, Weimar culture and (but of course) the perfect door knob.

Ok, now that's just freaky looking.
Kimy - Great. Apparently she was a local kiddy TV legend, obviously more show biz than the academic Miss Fran.
CB - What's so freaky about 60ish cowgirl astronauts?
