My mom, Norma Coffas Clinton, was a friend of Bob. Norma was a talented soprano at age 10 and because they lived near each other Bob used to accompany her on his piano in his home when she was a teen. They remained friends. My mom passed away in 2011. I found a letter from Bob had written when they both lived in Fla in their latter years.

I'm not sure why you'd use the term "tragic", seems he had an amazing life.

He was a regular part of my childhood.

Terrible, inaccurate title. What was tragic about his ending? We should all be so fortunate! The lousy title ruins this.

Oh, how I remember, the peanut gallery, Mr. Buster, to name a few.

Great documentary ... but, if you don't have a windscreen for your mic, put a piece of cloth over it, or a sock.
