gerisullivan posted this, and I find it quite charming. The group is "Garfunkel and Oates," made up of Riki "Garfunkel" Lindhome and Kate "Oates" Micucci. In a way, they remind me of Romanovsky and Phillips, and it was fun just to see their web site after all these years. (Ron is still recording, Paul isn't; CDs are available at the web site.)

Romanovsky and Phillips

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I remember when they played the Winnipeg Folk Festival; great fun.

I liked R&P a lot. I saw them live only once, while in college, but it was a fun show (and in Orange County, would'ja'believe).

My favorite section of the "where are they now" part of their bio:

Paul put music on hold to pursue other interests, while Ron began learning a new instrument: the accordion. Before long he became a working local musician in Santa Fe, armed with a new repertoire of European music and a particular interest in the French chanson. In 2002, after several trips to France, where he was dubbed "Dadou" (thanks to the 60's song "Dadou Ron Ron") by a friend, he recorded Je m'appelle Dadou ("My name is Dadou"). In addition to crooning half a dozen classic French pop songs, this self-produced disc includes original compositions penned for the accordion in a variety of musical genres. These musical explorations have resulted in his performing with Santa Fe pianist-singer Charles Tichenor in an annual cabaret show, "April in Paris", and a regular run at Santa Fe's unlikely bistro, Cafe Paris, where he currently performs regularly as "Dadou".

The album cover for Je m'appelle Dadou is quite the thing:
