It was probably 1954 or 55, when I went to the "Womens Centuary Club, on Capital hill in Seattle. I was a kritter just in or just out of high school. I sat mesmorized for two hours while Earl Robinson sat alone, at the piano, and did a full performance of his ...yet to be produced opera ... "SANDHOG" There he sat, composer, arranger, conductor, producer, pianist, singer, story teller, and told and SANG all the parts to the opera. He sang Bass, Alto, tenor, even soprano. I swear that he sang duets with himself. What an evening! He inspired me so much. We need more of his kind. CHEERS: bob
