Glam Rock for the Future, Power Pop for Progessives, Martinis at 5:00.
We are the trans-Atlantic alliance of Bob Kingdon, from England and Eric Daum from New England. We are a virtual band inspired by the music of Bill Nelson, Power Pop and girls in short skirts and tight shirts. Bob handles the guitars, Eric, the keyboards, loops and programming as well as dabbling with his ancient Rickenbacker on a few songs. Both Bob and Eric sing and share songwriting. In addition, we sometimes set the poems of Carole Young, a Scottish poet to music.

Story behind the song
Lee Miller was a Model, Photographer, Femme Fatale, and War Correspondent. Lady Penrose, wife of Roland Penrose, lover and colleague of Man Ray, confident of Cocteau and Picasso, she was a beautiful enigma and elegance in the face of horror. Discovered by Conde Nast, she was the first model on the cover of Vogue, years later she photographed the war in Normandie and the liberation of Buchenwald and Dachau as a correspondent for Vogue.
Lyrics
Dear Miss Miller Dear Miss Miller Could I take a photograph of you Hey Miss Miller, what exactly are you going through? Dear Miss Miller, Could you take a photograph of me Hey Miss Miller, we're hanging out in Gay Paree Who are you now (on the cover of a magazine) Who are you now (Off to France, to make the scene) Hey Miss Miller, Taking pictures with Man Ray While you were dancing, What did Picasso say? Dear Miss Miller, You're overexposed Face the Camera, Would you strike this pose Who are you now (Champagne and Benzedrine) Who are you now (People see who they want to see) Hypnotize Me Solarize Me Surrealize me Just surprise me Hey Miss Miller Soaking in Der Fuher's bath You're so pretty Just once I'd like to see you laugh Hey Miss Miller Can I wash between your toes Hey Miss Miller I'd like to kiss your nose Who are you now (Shooting Pictures of The war) So who are you now (Wonder who you do it for) So who are you now (People see who they want to see) So who are you now (You're such a mystery) So who are you now (You could you be my muse) So who are you now (I can see that you're not amused) So who are you now (In a Film by Jean Cocteau)
