Mark Murphy

Mark Murphy fun fact: The very first record he ever bought was "Der Fuehrer's Face" by the original Spike Jones. I believe he said he was about 10, and his sister, Missy, is the one who took him to the local appliance store, which also sold records.Mark Murphy fun fact: The very first record he ever bought was "Der Fuehrer's Face" by the original Spike Jones.

One of my sweetest memories is of visiting Mark Murphy and listening with him, to an area of a Kenton website that featured the Concerts in Miniature radio shows. (Mark adored the Kenton orchestra and met him in the 1950s.)One of my sweetest memories is of visiting Mark Murphy and listening with him, to an area of a Kenton website that featured the Concerts in Miniature radio shows.
