I have a partial memory of lil markie being an alter ego of the
christian ventriloquial performer Little Marcie (proudly native of
beautiful Gladstone Oregon) who strangely seems to have no net
presence. Her fine shrill little tunes include Devil Devil Go Away
and Be Careful Little Ears. If nobody else pulls up any Little Marcie
I'll try to dig my own vinyl LP out of hiding, at least to scan the cover.
