ROBERT BLAKE OFFERED JOB AS PIANIST



LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) – Robert Blake’s predicament may not be helping his acting career, but it could help him find work in music. Blake’s buddy, actor and musician Conrad Janis, is offering to let the actor sit in onstage playing piano with his band. 73-year-old Janis – who is best known as Mindy’s father on Mork And Mindy – performs every Tuesday night at the Lunaria restaurant in Los Angeles where Blake has sat in a few times. Janis says he knows his friend is going through a difficult time and he thinks playing music may help him express feelings words can’t. That’s not the only job Janis has lined up for Blake. He’s currently working on a film musical entitled From Riches To Ragtime, and he hopes to cast Blake in a role.
