Ocala, FL (PRWEB) March 26, 2009 - Recording duo and radio personalities Robin And The Giant, whose real names are Robin MacBlane and Larry Whitler, have announced plans to offer two scholarships to students studying dance at Victoria's School of Dance in Dunnellon, Florida. The scholarship is named in memory of Whitler's sister, Doreen Conklin, who passed away at the age of 46 on December 15th 2008 after losing a long fought battle against Hepatitis C.

Whitler explains, "Doreen had dreams when she was a little girl of growing up and becoming one of the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. We moved from New York to Rainbow Lakes Estates in the Dunnellon area in 1972. Doreen was nine years old at the time and studied dance with a retired dance instructor in Rainbow Lakes Estates. Then we grew up and life happened and Doreen was never able to realize her dream."

The memorial scholarship will pay for tuition and costume fees for one year for one student in the 3 to 5-year-old class and another student in the 6-year-old and older class. The students will be selected by the school and the scholarships will be awarded on August 3, 2009. The date was chosen by Robin And The Giant because Doreen Conklin's birthday was August 3rd.

A portion of the sales of all Robin And The Giant and Larry Whitler CDs and MP3 downloads will fund the scholarships along with the other charities supported and endorsed by the duo.]]> http://robinandthegiant.com/news.html#12 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0700 Florida's Favorite Family Duo - Robin And The Giant - News http://robinandthegiant.com/news.html#11

Here's our news release:

Ocala, FL (PRWEB) July 30, 2008 -- Recording artists, Robin And The Giant, have announced plans for a live acoustic show for small intimate venues.

Robin And The Giant have been performing and recording since 1987. Starting out as a children's act, they were among the first artists to appear on the internationally distributed For Kids Only channel of the Digital Cable Radio Network.

The duo, based out of Ocala, Florida, will be making their program available to resorts, hotels, schools, churches, residential facilities, and campgrounds.

Robin And The Giant have produced a radio program, and published three books, including a 572 page book of 56 short stories for children ("The Gift Of The Barking Frog And Other Gifts From The Heart"), an illustrated story book for young children about two puppies who discover each other's friendship ("Live To Sniff"), and a novel for young adults about two nine-year-old boys who learn some important lessons when they enter a time portal, including the absurdity of prejudice ("Oreo And Braun: XOB, The Full Circle Quest").

The centerpiece of Robin And The Giant has always been the music and in 2007 the duo re-mastered their double CD "Time To Travel" and their popular "Back To School" disc. In addition to the two re-mastered releases, Robin And The Giant have been in the studio the past two years re-recording some of their favorite self-penned songs and some newly written numbers.

Their newest CD is titled "Leftover Fun" and features 16 new songs.

Currently, Robin And The Giant have a total of six CDs available from I-Tunes and other online retailers. All the Robin And The Giant products are also available on the Robin And The Giant website: www.robinandthegiant.com where you can also find more information about the Coffeehouse Concerts.
