In Robin’s words: “My father worked in New York City and now and again came home with a shiny LP from the record store near his office. He favored the Broadway bins. We listened to the albums in our living room until we knew every single word of every song. When we were away from home, we sang in the car on long trips, my mother leading the way with her voice, my father whistling along. I was only seven, but I longed to learn how to play these songs on the piano. Fortunately, my piano teacher indulged me, and I began creating my own arrangements by the time I was nine. In the 1980’s, I found myself supporting my acting dreams by working as a pianist in piano rooms and hotel lobbies in midtown Manhattan. Knowledge of Broadway songs were a must, and the gigs fit me like a glove.
We are living in difficult times. Although it has been shut down for over a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I know Broadway will be back, stronger than ever. This album is my love letter to Broadway. I hope you enjoy it.
DEDICATION: TO EVERY PERFORMER WHO HAS EVER STEPPED ON A STAGE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ARTISTRY AND DEDICATION TO YOUR CRAFT. TO ANYONE WHO HAS EVER BEEN IN THE AUDIENCE: APPLAUSE TO YOU.”
