Chris Robinson

So by the time I come along in 66, it's kind of, he's not doing it anymore.

What was he doing?

He was a schmata guy.

He was in the middle, he was like Willie Loman.

He was in the garment business.

My grandfather, Ike Robinson, they were in children's wear.

My dad was in women's wear and then ended later back in children's wear.

But the one thing around the house that I remember earliest memories are him pilling out his guitar and singing folk songs.

And just...

I don't know, I'm a dyslexic person and so my, you know what I mean?

So there was, I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but there was something about always singing these songs that would like open up stuff for me.

Almost like being high or in a, not in a psychedelic way, but in a way that it changed the space.

You know what I mean?

And records started doing that to me very early.

And that kind of is where, so it's kind of, we think it's normal.

Other kids' dads aren't playing old folk songs at the house that I know, you know.

But by the time Rich and I, you know, we're kind of like angst-ridden suburban youth, you know.

For some reason, my parents decided to move to the suburbs.

Financial reasons, general apathy, you know, ready to, you know, begin the mound of resentment and regret.

I don't know.
