Meet Robyn Peshek from San Fernando Valley, California.

I became an America Fan around 1972 (when "Horse with no Name" came out) I remember being on the bus for a field trip and the cheesy radio blasting the song and everybody singing along. I think I was thirteen at the time (you guys do the math!) I am married and have one great eleven year old daughter (who is an America Fan in spite of herself, I caught her humming "Hidden Talent" the other day). I live in the beautiful San Fernando Valley, not far from where Human Nature was recorded and mixed (if I read the notes correctly). I have a B.A. in English and I work for the Library (not a Librarian, I am an Administrator).

The first America Concert I attended was on March 13, 1973, at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Downtown Los Angeles. When my friend and I were walking to our ride (we were after all about 13 at the time) we went past the stage entrance and were almost run over by the band leaving the show! Talk about jazzed! I have been fortunate to see the band a number of times since then (the next most memorable had Jackson Browne as an opening act). The shows have always been great and I look forward to the next one.

Feel free to send your comments or questions to Robyn.
