In this episode, Robert tells his story about life as a musician and an artist living in Brooklyn, NY. From co-founding The Shirts, touring with Peter Gabriel, and playing regular dates at NYC’s famed CBGB’s, to discovering his love of painting, this story is an artist’s journey. Robert remembers his father’s cameo in On the Waterfront down on the Brooklyn docks. He talks about the little flukes in life and how one tiny thing can change the course of your life’s path dramatically and forever. After missing the Vietnam draft by a hair, Robert helped found the New Wave group The Shirts under manager Hilly Kristal - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilly_Kristal. After regular appearances at NYC’s CBGB’s playing with Television and The Talking Heads, The Shirts signed with EMI and toured with Peter Gabriel. Later, after marriage and children, Robert discusses how painting and art saved him and how in many ways it was just by chance that he ended up where he is today.
