Way back in the Good Old Days, 1969 to be exact, I went to my first show at the Main Point in Bryn Mawr, near Philadephia. The feature act was a guy who had been in the Chad Mitchell Trio, named John Denver. The opener was somebody named Emmett "Robbie" Robinson, who did a song called "Rue de la Paix." I don't remember anything about the song except liking it. It's not in the DT. Anybody know anything about it, or Robbie Robinson? I know about the other guy.

Aloha,
Mark

Thanks, kat. It might have been Robertson, not Robinson. After the set I asked him about the song and he told me who wrote it, but that's long gone.

No, wait, Robbie Robertson was in The Band, wasn't he? I don't think he would have been opening for John Denver in Bryn Mawr. Must have been Robinson.
