    Robin Trower - there's a name I haven't heard for a while.
    What's he up to (musically) these days?

    I'm not sure what he's doing anymore or if he's still even playing.
    He's been around town here (Washington, DC area) a few times in the
    past decade, but it has been a while. He may have retired, for all
    we know.

    Apparently, not. I just did a quick check and found that he's
    actually on tour in the southern U.S. right now. Here's the dates
    for anyone who might be interested:

    He's definitely a guy who can play a single note that is worth far
    more than album's worth of Yngwie's scale ripping.

    Hehe... yeah, I always liked Trower's playing, if not his songwriting
    and choice of lead vocalists. I believe he's just done a blues album,
    too. That's going to be another one for The List! ;-)

    Cheers,
    Martin

    Dang. THe closest he'll get to me is Myrtle Beach, and that was last
    weekend. Doh!

    Definitely.
