I feel I have practically grown up with Bob Mitchell. He was at Royce Hall playing for a showing of Chaplin shorts when I was a High School student attending my first silent film retrospective. He always seemed to pop up like a distant relative in unexpected places. I remember helping with the maintenence on the big pipe organ at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse, taking out the massive and fragile pipes for cleaning, and when it was all put together, Mr. Mitchell showed up to test the timber, and played for a bout a half hour. The old House really seemed to come alive and grow perceptively younger with the music. Wow. I feel I have practically grown up with Bob Mitchell.
