ED ROBINSON PAYS TRIBUTE AGAIN

Yesterday, email blasts, blogs and radios waves went wild streaming and playing another tribute by Ed Robinson. This time Ed Robinson placed a spin on his number one hit song "Our Heroes" by paying tribute to sounds. 

In speaking with Robinson he said that he was thinking about doing this for sometime. He explained that he had a request from a sound man (Adrian Lodge) who lives in Bermuda. Adrian requested it for his sound site and he went through with it, not knowing that it would have made such an impact. Robinson further stated that he first learned of it been public was when he went to his email and face book in box, he saw emails from various people, fans, sounds thanking him for mentioning their names in the song, as well as requests by radio jocks for the mp3 and sound wanting dubplates. Robinson says he is humbled by the outpouring of love and appreciation that he is receiving for both songs and gives much thanks to radio jocks, print media and fans.
