Naked on the Bench: My Adventures in Pianoland Robin Spielberg

As a child, Robin Spielberg had a recurring dream that there were secret rooms inside her living room piano. Readers are now also treated to the secrets revealed in these rooms, as they follow her seemingly elusive quest for a measurement of success in her life as a performing artist, which comes at last, in the most unlikely of places.

This beautifully written memoir offers readers an inside look at many of the entertaining series of events and circumstances that Spielberg encountered throughout her illustrious career. Whether it's performing at a private party for television news legend Peter Jennings, acting on the stages of Lincoln Center, or trekking through the Montana wilderness with a Steinway in tow, Spielberg tells of her adventures with authenticity,  humor and passion.

"Part memoir, part how-to manual for aspiring artists, Naked on the Bench explores--with humor, passion, and great detail--the ambition, focus, and courage needed for a career on the concert stage." -Robin Meloy Goldsby, author of Piano Girl and Waltz of the Asparagus People
