1. Herbert Khaury A.K.a. Julian Foxglove, Larry Love, Rollie Dell, Darry Dover, Emmett Swink, and
TINY TIM. Bizarre as he appeared, he actually had a genuine encyclopedic memory of popular music from the twenties and thirties.

2. I think he had a certain genius about him. I didn't know for sure,
but I suspected he had a good knowledge of obscure songs from a certain period in our music history.

5. Unfortunately, not obscure enough songs, his knowledge was exclusivly popular music
No Jazz, no Blues, no Folk, no nothing if the sheet music wasn't published in the big cities and played in house parlors. He specialized in elevator music before elevator music was even invented.

4. At his last lived in Des Moines of all places.
I think he died there too.
