I have just noticed that he had a credit in an early episode of the US television show M*A*S*H. This the day after I read this article.

Yes indeed Marv. He played himself, sort of... The singing troubadour in Korea or something...wasn't really very good though. I mainly like it because it's nice to see one of my favourite artists on T.V.
The things he did for the the BBC the last ten years are way more interesting...
BTW : you did not say whether you know his music but I suppose you do...?

5.000 lost flatpicks, four fingertips scarred
I must have broken a million G-strings
Picking an playing and strumming this thing..."

Well that's what the article is for Marv ! 
Of course once you start quoting you can go on forever.

Just thought you'd like to know Mr Wainwright III had a minor hit in Os with the single 'Dead Skunk'(quite some time ago though)
