Welcome to my web page on the music
of Robin Trower............
I have been a fan of Robin Trowers
since the first time I heard "Day Of The Eagle" over 25 years ago.
As a guitarist for most of my life he is also one of the biggest
influences in my own playing . My guitar playing has always
been a very personal thing for me and listening to Robin's music has always
inspired me to continue working at it.
Also, as a guitarist, it has always
amazed me at how many fellow guitarists I meet who don't know his work.
I can't even begin to describe or
catagorize his style, his sound... many people at the beginning of Robin's
career labelled him a Hendrix clone. People who say this have not
listened to either one in my opinion. Robin Trower is unique in both
his playing skills and his writing skills. Into his forth decade
as a solo act, Robin's playing, and his songs, have touched
many people, and the impact that his music has had on so many over such
a long span of time, is one of the reasons I started this web site and
how it has continued to grow.
This site is also about the other
musicians who have played such an important part in presenting Robin's
music to us all. I have been very fortunate to get to know Davey Pattison
and Bill Lordan and to do interviews with them. As well, I
have had the opportunity to interview Dave Bronze, Richard Watts , Alvino
Bennett and even the great James Dewar.
I had never experienced Robin playing
live until finally, after 25 years, I was fortunate enough to finally meet
and see Robin perform live at two shows in California. I went as a guest
with Bill Lordan. It was an amazing experience that you can read about
through the Steve's Big Adventure link on the Features Page.
What will you find inside?
A bit of history...... some pictures, a few stories, some amazing memoribillia
I have collected, interviews with some great musicians, news, numerous
magazine articles from the past, show reviews,
record reviews, tour pictures, lyrics,
links and more.
Anyway, I have a few interesting
pages that ,as a Trower fan, you may find of interest. Please read what
others have to say in my guestbook. You will find a lot of interesting
people have stopped by. Please sign my guestbook if you browse
through and let me know what you think of my pages. I really enjoy reading
your comments and any stories you care to share with me and the people
who visit my site.
I would sincerly like to thank the
all the people who have helped contribute to the growth of this site by
your many contributions.
I hope you enjoy
