Lía Pamina

July 1st, 2009

Lovely Lía Pamina

Now that I’m in contact with Prudence Bury, I’d like to take a moment to once again say thanks to 60’s retro comment writer Janis, otherwise known as Lía Pamina. Months ago, Lía, who lives in Spain, provided Prue’s maiden name and its correct spelling, and that made all the difference in my search for one of the quintessential women of the Sixties.

Lía is a big fan of singer-songwriter Margo Guryan, who wrote the song “Sunday Morning” by Spanky and Our Gang (not to be confused with “Sunday Will Never Be the Same”).

Lía has made a couple of videos featuring Guryan songs. She’s cleverly animated “Love Songs”, with some illustrations by Roy Lichtenstein, and she performs “Timothy’s Gone”. Great job on both, Lía! You can hear Guryan’s original recording of “Timothy’s Gone” on her MySpace page at the link above.

    Lia — You’re very welcome! It’s the least I could do. There are times when I feel like walking away from the blog, but I’m lucky because it always seems something comes along that keeps me interested in doing it.
