I have the CD, too. It's one of the best analyses of Wagner's "Ring" operas anywhere. (I thought she was already gone.)

I saw her perform live in LA back in the late 70's. She served up the Wagner sketch as an encore.

I remember one of her albums from a few decades ago. Very funny. She did a parody with an opera called "Anemia." LOL.

A delightful woman. I never had the pleasure of hearing her in a live performance, but if anyone is interested in seeing a DVD of many highlights from her career, Netflilx will rent you one.
I had thought her gone long ago.

The "Ring" bit is a classic. It stands absolutely alone.
All three parts available. Part one here.
What a great lady! I'm sure she has St. Peter in stitches.

“I’m not making this up, you know.”If she did nothing else she deserves immortality for that line.

It's always sad when we lose people who made us laugh. A rare and precious talent. She will be missed.

Poor lady. She probably would have given anything to have had her mother's love. RIP.
