Dick Robinson's Passion: The Society for the Preservation of the Great American Songbook. Founder-Chairman, Dick Robinson, created this 501(c)3 to increase awareness, especially for children and young adults, of what he believes to be the greatest music ever recorded. In addition to his weekly radio and TV shows, to support the Society's mission (to preserve and perpetuate the music, character and history of the Great American Songbook), Dick addresses the social needs of youth and the nostalgic memories of the “greatest generation.”
The Society’s primary plan is to educate today’s adolescents about the Great American Songbook music. Music is well-known to connect deeply with teenagers and to influence their development, perhaps more than any other entertainment medium. Our next generation will only appreciate this meaningful, positive, optimistic, and entertaining part of their American heritage when we work to keep the music playing.
In addition, affiliates across the country continue to pick up “Dick Robinson's American Standards by the Sea"and the Society for the Preservation of the Great American Songbook launched theoriginalgasstation.com, its Internet radio station, accessible around the world and around the clock.
