On Monday 18 January 2021, Gene Watson celebrated Hargus ‘Pig’ Robbins on his 83rd birthday.
‘Wishing a ‘Happy Birthday’ to one of country music’s legendary piano players, Hargus ‘Pig’ Robbins.
‘Pig’ was born today in 1938 in Spring City, Tennessee.
I used to say if ‘Pig’ was not available for my recording session, we’d have to change the date.
