THE VOCAL RECORD COLLECTORS' SOCIETY

PRESENTS


CONNECTIONS

By
BOB MILLS


Yes, our Renaissance Man and veteran VRCS member, Bob Mills, returns again to the fray for one more shot at the VRCS Golden Ring. Actually, he takes that ring every time he gives a program, but it keeps him on his mettle if we challenge him right from the start. As we have told you before, Bob has had a fascinating and varied career, having written some eighteen published novels and non-fiction works, four screenplays, at least one libretto, and song lyrics. In addition, he has been an "underground" film producer, worked in Industrial Film, been a producer for a major New York city radio station, done professional photography for a major magazine as well as on a freelance basis, been a member of Toastmasters International, and has also pursued various commercial business interests. All of this was pursuant to, or in conjunction with, earning a degree in Film and Television from New York University, studying Fiction Writing and Poetry at the New School for Social Research, graduating from the Germain School of Photography, etc. And Bob has even appeared on Doug Fox's EVENING AT THE OPERA. (He would appear to have invented the forty-hour workday to encompass all of the foregoing, but the U.S. Copyright Office shows no patent for anything like that, so we must assume he gets it all done on natural talent alone.) Prior to any of this, however, Bob was a record collector (from the age of nine), and he has been an opera-lover for all of his adult life. He's rather like Leonardo Da Vinci with a cell phone, and he has asked us to announce that under no circumstances will he perform open-heart surgery during Lent.

Bob's March program has a title that requires explanation, but don't expect much of that kind of thing here. The best he is willing to come up with in advance is that the "connections" are varied: some musically obvious; some personal; some out of his listener-collector's experience; some (lyric) theatrical; some sentimental favorites; and some from the dark depths of his battered cranium and fevered brain. Those are his words, not ours, but we do hope to see you there, if only because our low membership fee is a real bargain when it comes to observing battered craniums and fevered brains!
