San Francisco, CA -- When it was released in hardcover in 2005, Publishers Weekly gave it a starred review, describing it as “a bighearted, funny, truly eye-opening memoir." The legendary pianist and host of NPR's Marian McPartland's “Piano Jazz" said, “Piano Girl is certainly one of the funniest books I've ever read."

Sometimes poignant and often hilarious, Piano Girl reveals the comedies, tragedies, and mundane miracles witnessed by a keenly observant and very witty storyteller from the business side of the keyboard.

From cheesy lounges to four-star hotels, Robin Meloy Goldsby recounts the soundtrack of her life with grace and wicked humor. Along the way she discovers the human side, for better or worse, of her audiences--the celebrities, drunks, moguls, the down-and-out and downright scary, the music lovers and music haters, and ordinary people dealing with life in extraordinary ways.

After working her way through college by playing cocktail-lounge piano, Robin Meloy Goldsby realized she had discovered her calling. Her 30- year career has taken her from suburban motels to New York City's poshest venues, exclusive island resorts, and Third World countries, and on to the castles of Europe where she now performs. A resident of Germany, she has recorded two albums of original music.
