The Robbin Thompson Band "Take Me Away"

The Robbin Thompson Band
Take Me Away
Live at The Norva
Friday Dec 4th 2009
Local radio station WNOR back in the late 70's and early 80's used to tape local concerts. The Robbin Thompson Band was taped at Norfolk's, King's Head Inn and for a few years this song was played regularly. It's definitely on my top 25 all time favorite songs list and it was great to finally see it performed live.
The Robbin Thompson Band: Robbin Thompson (lead vocals, acoustic guitar); Velpo Robertson (lead guitar, vocals); Audie Stanley ( bass, vocals); Eric Heiberg (keyboards, vocals); Bob "Rico the Fox" Antonelli (drums, vocals)
From the S/T LP 1976

What a great song. It was co-written with Robbin Thompson by my very good friend Austin Roberts.

@cpetry17 There's a name I haven't heard in 25 years. Is he local? Would love to get him playing Something's Wrong With Me and film it. I butcher both of these songs on guitar myself though I haven't played them in years. I have a record store would be great to get both these guys in to play......

@mitch26 Austin lives in Nashville. Where are you? He doesn't do much performing anymore, but still writes.

@cpetry17 I'm in Newport News, VA I believe he was from this area originally.....

Thanks for posting!! One item of note...Mike Lanning was original bass player in the band but this is Audie Stanley in the video, who followed Mike as the bass player for RTB...
