This is my debut conducting after 2 months of once a week conducting class at UCSB with the great Maestro, Richard Rintoul (Here seated as 1st violinist/concert master & playing an instrument he rarely plays because of his commitment and the love in his heart).

Video of my Dad starts at 2min 53 sec and that’s when he offers short, unrehearsed but very moving insights from his long life. You’ll be able to see him but not me during my emotional introduction, since I left phone on the table to extemporaneously speak before retrieving it to capture him. (C) Ronald Robinson

This was my first time playing this organ and I began improvising in the French style while trying to figure it out and experimenting with some of the stops/sounds and keyboard combinations. When I arrive at full tutti, it will blow your socks off. Third biggest organ in DC and it packs a wallop. Listen on good speakers or headphones to get the full effect.

Here’s my 91 year old Dad walking off like the Boss he is way before the ball hits the pins, knowing he just bowled a strike!

Final Variation on Dupre’s Noel St. Thomas NYC

I told this excerpt from my in-progress memoir and one person show about my bi-racial, "Mixed-ish" family - black father from the Segregated South and white mother from Berlin Germany - and growing up in Jersey City in the mid- 1950s and early 1960s when there weren't any families like ours.
