I’m sure I remember that solo!
Such a great player and he was so sweet and unassuming.

I have many pleasant memories of Corkey. Man, he could really play. It was an
honor to be in ACWE with him. He did a swing solo once that gave me
goosebumps it was so good. I’ll miss him. Prayers for him and his extended
family.

I have just learned that Corkey Robinson is expected to only live about
another week or so. He is in his late 90s and lived a long and purposeful
life. He was one of the people responsible for the creation of the Austin
Civic Wind Ensemble. He played in ACWE for many years and conducted from
time to time. He attended one of our 40th anniversary concerts a few years
ago. Corkey is well known in the Central Texas band world and was band and
orchestra director at Austin High School from 1961 through 1988. More on
