More About robinroberts

......i've been playing the guitar and writing songs for most of my life now......i've always said that i just play the guitar well enough to write songs...... i mostly write songs about places i've been and be....... people i've known and meet....... feelings i've had and get..... things i've heard and hear....and others i've seen and see....

... got the banjo bug real bad...... and started playing in 2007... somehow the banjo became the passion of my life...... something to do with the sound.....i think...

...became part of an acoustic duo with a lady folksinger named Billie Preston in 2008..... we've been playing and singing together all this time now...... .......in quite a few small... obscure places along the way.... .......we do perform here on the jelly sometimes.... under the name... robinbillie........

we sure hope to see you sometime ......:) i'll be listening too..

peace, love, and banjos
Fun Stuff about the Artist

My Instrument

..in 1978 my acoustic guitar was stolen at the Winfield Ks bluegrass festival... where i had camped out for the night... i was 23 at the time and it was my first decent acoustic guitar ..i got it at a discount, because it had an imperfection and paid $300 for it.... which was a lot of money to me at the time... i had a few songs.... finished and unfinished in the case that left with it... i cried that day...

..at the time i played in a band and mostly played electric guitar.... so i went for a year without an acoustic guitar.... in the winter of 1979 i found out that i was getting a $1.200 tax return...hmmmmmmm..... i had always wanted a Martin guitar .... but at the time, there was a well known guitar maker in Winfield, KS named Stuart Mossman....he and another guy named Chris Fisher were making three guitars a month in a small bldg. in Winfield....as fate would have it..... i got one of those guitars for $1,200.. and i still play it to this day... it's no. 79-050
