CD REVIEWS:

An excellent cd, and an excellent artist. I purchased all of his cds, and I highly recommend each of them. This artist is a must have for any collection!

It was wonderful meeting Robert in person during a recent trip to Bermuda, watching him play the steel drums in front of me, then returning home to Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania and listening again and again to this masterful musician and his very relaxing Tropicana CD selections. Fantastic!

Hi Robert, I bought an album from you in the tourist mall near where the cruise ships pull in about a year ago. I was making a trans-Atlantic crossing and stopped to have an enjoyable chat with you for maybe ten minutes. I remember taking an instant like to you and the sounds you were producing. I just wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed your music back here in Utah where we live. There is a control, a presence, an attitude of composure and gentleness about you that continues to knock me over. Your touch on the steel drum conveys so much - your genuineness, your gentleness and your sincerity-of-soul are so obvious in the music you create. Thanks again for doing what you do and being what you are. I wish you the best.
