The cover photo was taken beneath a birch tree in our front yard, the white border on the photo is from a childhood snapshot. My husband Bruce did all the photography and graphics for the project.
I've collected my favorite pieces from the first three CD's and put them all together here on one disk plus a handful of new, previously un-recorded pieces. You won't find any Alaskana on here, just Robin Hopper at her singer/songwriter best (look for the all-Alaskan collection CD in late spring 2002.) When I found I was a finalist for the 2001 Alaska Public Radio Network's (APRN) Song-of-the-Year Contest I decided it was time to put this project together. Robin has been a three-time finalist for the APRN Song-of-the-Year Contest (1996, 1998, 2001). All three of those pieces are included in this collection (A Long Goodbye, '96; Mamma's Kisses, '98; Time Enough to Cry, '01).
Click on the highlighted songs to download a .WAV file which contains a small sample of the song. The .WAV file was recorded at 11 khz which is substantially less than the quality of the actual tape or CD, but at least you can hear Robin's music.
