A Day With Bobby Sherman Sunup to sundown Shindig's swinging bachelor's busy,
but it's really all a labor of love
Bobby Sherman, the popular star of Shindig, is nineteen years old, doesn't go steady, but does date - and he prefers girls who are not in show business. He is a native of Van Nuys, California where his father owns a dairy company. He still lives at home because wants to, speaks foreign languages, including Russian and French, has studied physics and electronics, plays every conceivable kind of instrument - drums, trumpet, etc. He made a movie in April based on Shindig, co-starring Donna Loren. In the future he hopes to be a dramatic actor, as well as a singer, and he has the good looks to accomplish this feat. He eventually wants to marry, but not for a long time. He made a personal appearance tour of the U.S. for Decca Records and enjoyed every minute of it. He is a delightfully charming young lad, intelligent and he loves his work to the point that he says it is not work for him. He advises teenagers to really plan what they want to do with their lives. "Pick out something you love and then work hard. When you love what you're doing, it is much easier to be a success."
8:00 A.M. - Every day's a holiday to Bobby and he's up and showered and ready for breakfast. Sal Mineo discovered him at a Fourth of July party he threw, heard Bobby sing and made some suggestions Bobby quickly followed.
9:00 A.M. - A quick call to the studio to see what's on the agenda. He's nineteen, the son of a Van Nuys dairy owner, is a perfectionist, was a data status technician before fame came. He dates, but doesn't yet go steady.
10:00 A.M. - He plays back his own recording. He speaks Russian and French, plays several instruments which he learned from his Dad. He thinks instant success if fine, but he knows to keep it you have to work at it daily.
3:30 P.M. - A turn at the drums is great fun. He plays them well at the studio where Shindig is taped. Bobby went on a tour of the country with Decca Records, starred in a movie with Donna Loren which was about the show.
5:30 P.M. - Here he is recording a song! Bobby doesn't believe one has to starve to achieve success, wants to be an actor too. He is a camera bug and has the best camera money can buy. It's day's end and what a ball!
