The Robbie Laws Band November 1, 2008

The most significant event in Robbie Laws life was the transition from rock to blues Robbie found himself rooming in the same motel as the late great blues master, Albert Collins. It was during a change of residences that Robbie needed a place to stay. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Albert and his wife Gwendolyn standing at the counter. Robbie struck up a conversation with Albert and they ended up hanging out together for a couple of weeks, playing cards and drinking. They swapped guitar licks and stories. Collins was so impressed by Robbie's enthusiasm that he took the time to teach Robbie the "ins and outs" of his distinctive guitar technique. He also acknowledged Laws as a kindred spirit.
