"What are you doing about it Howard?" Austen Heller asked him at dinner one evening.
"NOTHING."
"But you must."
"THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO"
"You must learn to handle people."
"I CAN'T."
"Why?"
"I DON'T KNOW HOW. I WAS BORN WITHOUT SOME PARTICULAR SENSE."
"It's something one acquires."
"I HAVE NO ORGAN TO ACQUIRE IT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SOMETHING I LACK OR SOMETHING EXTRA I HAVE THAT STOPS ME. BESIDES, I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO BE HANDLED."
"But you can't sit still and do nothing now. You've got to go after commissions."
"WHAT CAN I TELL PEOPLE IN ORDER TO GET COMMISSIONS? I CAN ONLY SHOW MY WORK. IF THEY DON'T HEAR THAT, THEY WON'T HEAR ANYTHING I SAY. I'M NOTHING TO THEM, BUT MY WORK- MY WORK IS ALL WE HAVE IN COMMON. AND I HAVE NO DESIRE TO TELL THEM ANYTHING ELSE."
"Then what are you going to do? You're not worried"?
"NO. I EXPECTED IT. I'M WAITING."
"For what?"
"MY KIND OF PEOPLE."

About me:
PROFESSIONAL FREELANCE MUSICIAN{DRUMMER} / ARTIST //: THE MAD MILE IS A PERFORMANCE SAMPLE. **CHECK OUT MIRANDA STONE ON YOUTUBE FOR SOME FOOTAGE OF ME PLAYING WITH HER ON THE MIKE BULLARD SHOW FROM A FEW YEARS AGO(I HAVE A LINK ON MY BLOG)** ALSO CHECK OUT KIRSTEN JONE'S PAGE FOR OTHER TRACKS***
Robin had his first performance experiences playing rather dank country bars with his Father- A very strange on the job training to say the least- Who needs formal lessons-Right??? However, there is nothing like a group of inauthentic dancing "cowboys" to inspire one to greater things.
Later,(with much zeal!) he attended Humber College along with a brief stint at the University of Toronto where he studied Music(jazz performance). However, this did not in any way surpress his profound love of Folk/Americana and Bluegrass- On the contrary, it just now encompassed a profound musical maturity.
Subsequently, Robin has had the chance to perform, tour, and record with numerous artists along with a spot of teaching thrown in for good measure.
