I have two records in collection, one by Fiddlin' Frenchie Burke and one by Randy Cornor. Robbie Springfield is playing some great Steel on both of them, his pickin' on tunes like Burke's "Fire On The Mountain" and "Knock, Knock, Knock" is awesome!. Does anybody know more details about this guy? Kind Regards, Walter ------------------ |

Robbie used to live in the Houston area, but now has moved to Arkansas, I believe. He is an awesome player. He is still doing some studio work from time to time. Robbie, I understand, recently had a heart attack but is now doing well. Robbie's good friend is Randy Reeves, the drummer on all the Frenchie stuff. Randy rents a house from me and we play in the same band every week...from time to time Randy Cornor comes and plays too. Let me tell you, it's a blast! |

I played a show in Arkansas a couple of years ago and he played for the singer who opened the show. Unbelievably great! (Robbie - not the singer...) I seem to recall him saying that he was playing now and then with David Lynn Jones -a really under-rated songwriter I've always thought - mostly just playing locally. I think he also said that he was mostly playing six string but I can't recall for sure. A great player for sure. |

Robbie did the steel work on my good friend Big John Mill's CD a couple years ago. I am still trying to figure this stuff out, but I don't think I'll ever get there. It's a great CD by a true Texas artist. You can order a copy from Big John directly at p.s. Tommy Detamore plays on the last cut too, it is awesome! |

Yes, Robbie is a fine player for sure. I met him in 1997 in Drasco, AK. where he was at the time, a "Staff Steel player" at "John Raney III" Recording Studio where he played bass on a Gospel album that we were "Cutting". (I played Steel for a Gospel Group out of Winnfield, LA) He Plays Guitar & Bass as well. I had him sit behind my steel, and let me tell you folks, He BURNS IT UP, but, Is SMOOTH AS WELL. Very nice Guy. |
