Ron Meagher
Ron Meagher (born October 2, 1941) is an American musician, best known as the bassist of American rock band The Beau Brummels. When guitarist-songwriter Ron Elliott was putting the band together in 1964, he asked a friend, Kay Dane, if she knew any good bass players. Dane recommended Meagher, but cautioned, "He's kind of weird. He has long hair!" After joining the band, Meagher proved to be important to the band's image, as he was one of the first American rock musicians with Beatlesque hair. In addition to providing backing vocals, Meagher sang lead on occasion, as on "They'll Make You Cry," a song from the band's 1965 debut album, ''Introducing the Beau Brummels''. Meagher appeared with the band in the 1965 science-fiction/comedy movie ''Village of the Giants'', which was featured in a 1994 episode of ''Mystery Science Theater 3000''. He remained with the band as it reduced from a quintet to a trio by 1967's critically acclaimed album ''Triangle''. During the recording of ...

Autumn Records, the band's previous label, had sold the band to Warner Brothers in early 1966.

Lead vocalist Sal Valentino explained, "When we went to Warner Brothers, they were just anxious to get a record out, to capitalize on the success we had. That record was the wrong one to do at the time." The album features Don Irving on guitar. Irving briefly became a member of the Beau Brummels filling in for Ron Elliott, who also played on the album, but was unable to withstand the rigors of touring due to his diabetic cond ...

Miller Freeman, Inc
A miller is a person who operates a mill, a machine to grind a grain (for example corn or wheat) to make flour. Milling is among the oldest of human occupations. "Miller", "Milne" and other variants are common surnames, as are their equivalents in other languages around the world (" Melnyk" in Russian, Belorussian & Ukrainian, "Meunier" in French, "Müller" or " Mueller" in German, " Mulder" and " Molenaar" in Dutch, "Molnár" in Hungarian, " Molinero" in Spanish, "Molinaro" or "Molinari" in Italian etc.). Milling existed in hunter-gatherer communities, and later millers were important to the development of agriculture. The materials ground by millers are often foodstuffs and particularly grain.

Non-food substances needed in a fine, powdered form, such as building materials, may be processed by a miller. Quern-stone The most basic tool for a miller was the ...
