The single went to number sixteen on a local Edmonton, Alberta a.m. radio chart.Beginning in 1985, Robert began recording original music in his basement. Using Anna, a Fostex 250 4-track cassette system, he produced a catalogue of nearly fifty songs, spanning the genres of rock, pop, jazz and country rock blues.
