St. Al's Fun
Fair 1984 Red, White, and Blue with an oriental flair.
A bold mixture of East meets West. Drawing influence from the
Beatles' mystical 'India' period, the Miller Five created their
most experimental sound yet, with exciting results. No slouches
when it came to the latest fashions, they were often the initiators
of the hottest trends. Mother Barbara had joined the group as
a percussionist, and Scotty began to develop his new image,
as a young, permed lothario. A newly blonde bombshell named
Kristin learned to play the clavés.
Sadly, no pictures of that year's performance are known to exist,
but you can tell by this one picture alone that it must have
been characteristically thrilling.
And it wasn't even 1985 yet... the heyday of the Miller Five.
Additional photos of the actual performance have finally been
unearthed; we can now breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that
this period in history will be forever documented. See image
