Groove On The Wireless 162 – Songs for Robbie

Hi Folks,

This week I found out I lost a good friend; an old friend to cancer.  He was one of the first friends I made when I went to a regional tech in the mid 80’s at the tender age of 17.  Robbie was older than me and a big influence on me in those impressionable days.  Looking back from here it appears like he was the epicentre of our gang back then.

It is a sadder duller world knowing that he has passed.

This is a collection of songs for Robbie that I put together for my friend.
