Farewell to Bob Burns

I was sorry to hear the news that Bob Burns has passed away. He was an institution in the sci-fi/horror/fantasy community—read here—and so generous and kind.

I was given a tour of his collection in the early 1990s and it blew my mind the stuff he had, and how open and friendly he was in sharing access with likeminded fans. He and his wife Kathy (who passed a few years ago) were such gracious hosts.

He also, by the way, was the person who rescued the stereo master tapes to The Satan Bug which we used on our FSM CD—the half of the score that survived.
