Robin And The Giant are a duo whose primary target audience are children and parents. We have been involved in children's entertainment, mostly music and radio, since 1987. We write and produce songs and stories and we also write the dialogue included on our radio shows and CDs.
Music
This is our song, from 1989, performed live in 2008 the Florida Music Festival in Orlando, Florida.

Mmm! Hot Chocolate and Horse Drawn Carriages! Robin And The Giant reminisce about their special Christmas Memories when they were children!
An acoustic Christmas song about giving back after having received so many blessings.
Why this name?
Well...I guess it was because Robin's name is "Robin" and because I am pretty large. So it just made sense. The idea actually came to me while showering (Don't tell the kids. I wouldn't want the visual to scare them!!)
Do you play live?
Sometimes. In the early days we played live constantly. Lately we've been talking about doing more live shows again now that our children are grown. We'll see.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
For us it has been wonderful! I guess the changes are primarily in the ability for a musician, songwriter, or recording artist/band to be heard by a remote audience.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Goodness, yes! Well...on second thought, it depends on the deal.
Band History:
We started playing elementary schools in the late 80's. Then we had an opportunity to create radio specials for children on Digital Cable Radio. Those specials have been re-mixed and are available on CD.
Your influences?
As a children's group I really don't think we've had much musical influence. Speaking for myself ("The Giant" aka Larry Whitler)I think pop music from the late 60s thru the 70s influenced me the most. Also, movie soundtracks seemed to make an impression on me. Robin MacBlane was more influenced by classical composers and heavy metal groups (what a mix, huh?!!).
Favorite spot?
Hmmm...can we have more than one? I fell in love with Santa Monica, California many years ago. But I think we both love the state of Florida. Oh, and I am very fond of the mountains in North Carolina. Robin is from Wisconsin and I am from New York originally so I think those places could be included among our favorites.
Equipment used:
I guess we qualify for this question. We use an acoustic guitar, an electronic keyboard, a 4-track analog recorder, and of course, a PC.
