Remember the Nut Lady?

Posted by baboo, April 16, 2007

One great thing about watching Johnny Carson: The food collectors. I have such fond memories of the Potato Chip Lady and the Nut Lady.

I got to thinking of "Nut Lady" Elizabeth Tashjian after reading a comic strip (Zippy the Pinhead) this morning. Did a bit of research, and I'm sorry to report that the founder of the Nut Museum in Old Lyme, CT died just this past January.

But you can still listen to Ms. Tashjian's rendition of her song, "Nuts Are Beautiful"

...and you can read more about her here
