“I grew up in a house that sang. And whistled. And hummed. My mother listened to an “oldies” station that played tunes she grew up with, and she taught these songs to me. I’d “sound out the notes” on the piano and we’d have these unplanned sing-alongs that would last past my bedtime. We sang everything: songs from Broadway, standards, movie songs, and the latest chart-busters. And even though a lot of time has gone by since those sing-along days at my parents’ house, I can still tune in on the radio and hear any one of our favorites. Some songs simply transcend time. They survive fads and trends. They have staying power because they touch our hearts in a way that only fine music can. This recording contains my arrangements of some of my favorite melodies. I hope you enjoy them.”
– Robin
This album is dedicated to my parents.
Reviews:
In the busy hustle of life this is like a cool flowing stream of loving melodies, one after another. Heartwarming, soothing to the soul. A kindness I give to myself when I’m out in the busy traffic of life. Very healing music.- C.M. Carter, Amazon
