Fred has written a beautifully moving tribute to Bob. What a small world it is indeed...

Thanks, Milla.

"A Bag of Popcorn and a Dream" has some nice stuff on it.

Is this the same Bob Wright who played Captain von Trapp in SOUND OF MUSIC at City Centre in '66 with Constance Towers?

Interestingly, there are 2 Robert Wright's listed on the IBDB.

Robert Wright [Arranger, Composer, Director, Lyricist]

and

Robert Wright (aka Bob Wright) [Performer]

They are not 1 and the same. I don't recall Bob Wright (arr., comp., dir., lyric) perf'ing at City Ctr, but I have a call in to Fred & will try to remember to ask him if he knows.

Just got off the phone w/Fred who confirms that our Bob Wright didn't perform....

I certainly look forward to reading more & interesting articles by Fred.
