Bill Mills presents Frank Gasperik video from 1980

Bill Mills rambles a bit about how this video came to be, then performs "My Turn To Sleep In The Middle" followed by rare and nostalgic clip of Frank Gasperik doing his FILK version of the same song called "My Turn To Sit In The Hot Tub" from a recently rediscovered home video shot at the Westercon 33 Fan Cabaret in 1980. (Convention video shot by Michelle Weisblatt) *NOTE: Frank went to the great SF Con in the sky to serenade Ghod on May 3, 2007 (I sure hope they have bheer there!).

What a great ol' comment from a good ol' boy! I'm flumuxed, flabbergasted and flattered... Thanks R.G. for the kind words. It's more than I deserve, I'm sure. I look forward to the next time we can get together and make some noise! Regards from Roxie and the kids (Candy, Milo, Bailey and Xander)... your friends "Out In Vegas" are glad yer "Still In The Game" *wink*

You are most kind dear sir. And you are, of course, most welcome. I appreciate your taking time to watch and comment. I know it's not nearly 'Ghastly' enough for you 'Johnny', but I am pleased you enjoyed it.(a green screen at home... is that decadent or what?? lol)

Wow Bill. B. Workman just told me you had Frank on You Tube. We lived together from 1973-1981 before he hooked up with Peggy. This just put such a smile on my face. Thanks for uploading these of Frank. He was so talented.

The video is a rare treat indeed. But for those of us who know Bill Mills we know that Bill is probably one of the best songwriters we have ever had the pleasure to have known. I feel Honored that I can call Bill a very close friend. Thanks to Bill"WaHoo" Mills and his sweet wife Roxy ,the internet is full of treasures to watch and enjoy. I'll always treasure my friendship with them both.
