Since childhood, Robin has been a big
fan of comics. He really appreciates
Stan Lee, and the authors and artists of so
many amazing characters and superheros.
As a tribute, we are sharing a tune titled:

"Calling Dr. Strange"

Robin named it after one of the mystical
characters of Marvel Comics and Stan Lee.

EVEN OLDER STUFF:

"Your Solace"
While in the band "SPECTRIS",
Robin wrote these lyrics and his emotion
were conveyed via his vocals and the wonderful music
that each band member gave to the song.
With the beautiful base concept and melody coming from  the band's
Guitarist Chris Bergmann who captured Robin's emotion and meaning
better than any of us even anticipated., as the song was written as a thankful tribute
to bandmate  and Robin's wife- Lori, for sticking by him through some dark times in the 90s.
The band worked tirelessly on this song which was being affectionately
called their "ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond" by local fans and friends.

Chris worked with Robin very hard on the arrangement and
this song is a reminder of what they could do when they worked together.
Everyone in the band poured their hearts into their parts and it shows.
While producing, editing and mixing down the album and creating
the package, Robin decided to put this song at the end of the album,
after checking in with his band-mates on the decision.

Your Solace was at first, really only meant to be a project to
show Lori some love, and to give Robin some closure and
self healing from a dark time in his past.
The lyrics do indeed tell a very personal autobiographical story...

Lori and Robin
hope that the song can simply be the peaceful ballad of love
and a joyful example of combined efforts that it was
always meant to be, as you can tell by simply listening to it.

"YOUR SOLACE (The World To Me)"
-A song of love and gratefulness.
Recorded with
Todd Westfall and Chris Bergmann
as Spectris.
