Robin Williams to undergo knee replacement

Robin Williams (Robin and Linda Williams and Their Fine Group) is scheduled for knee replacement surgery on Monday morning, March 12th.

According to a statement released in their monthly newsletter, he's been through this before and knows the drill of ice and rehab.

The couple say they are blessed with a wonderful small local hospital where they have friends and have performed yearly in the hospital’s

beautiful Atrium lobby as a kick off for The Fortune Williams Music Festival.   So they feel they’ll be in good hands there.

They will take 5 1/2 weeks off from the road.   It’ll be a great time to be home for Linda to work in the garden and to see spring in the Shenandoah Valley.

Expect New Robin and Linda Williams CD this Spring!

Robin and Linda Williams have just finished recording their 22nd CD.

According to Linda, “it was intense work made all the more so by Robin getting sick at the beginning of the week. But he "iron-manned" it through and we came up with a CD that we're pleased with.”

The CD was recorded in Nashville with such top quality musicians as Al Perkins, Todd Phillips and Chris Brashear.  Jim Rooney was the producer and Mark Howard the engineer

Seven of the album’s 12 songs are Robin and Linda originals.    Look for the CD to be released on Red House Records in the late spring or early summer.

As well as the personnel mentioned above, the duo was lucky enough to "fly" in harmony performances on a couple of songs by long time friends Jim Watson and Garrison Keillor.
