Artist picture
Kenny Finton's original songs sound like they have been major hits for many years. The Fintons are hypnotic and spellbinding, an act that is loved by all age gr
Hypnotic, spellbinding ... Kenny Finton sings with a voice as smooth as polished granite. Chaya backs him up and sings her own songs with an Emmylou Harris quality, except you can understand the words Chaya sings.

Lyrics
A hot sun was burning on the twenty-fifth day of June. Robin had a nickel left from trying to peddle his tunes. He was walking down the streets of L.A., looking for a place to play. I know he needed money, but he didn't let it get in the way. Two men stopped him and he knew that something was wrong. He only had a nickel and his pack and his orginal songs. When one man pulled a gun, it glinted in the midday sun. Robin felt a quiver like a big cold river come on. CHORUS: Run, Robin, run, Robin, run, Robin, run! Don't stand still in the sights of a gun. Fly, Robin, fly, Robin, fly, Robin, fly! You know you're gonna make it if you try, Robin, try! (REPEAT INTRO) Adrenalin was pumping as he looked into that old forty-four. Nothing seemed to matter, not the future nor the minute before. He knew they had a moment to spare. He said, "Friend, you know I want to be fair. I've got no money, but I've got a little tune we can share." (REPEAT CHORUS) The one said to the other as Robin showed no signs of fear. "Either this dude's crazy, or I'm gonna buy him a beer." I guess it only goes to show, you really really never know, we need a whole lot of loving and a lot less shoving 'round here. REPEAT CHORUS: CODA: Know you're gonna make it if you try, Robin, try.
