Gangs, Guitars, and the Grit to Keep Going — Bob Robinson

Life With Strings Attached

What does it take to stay creative in the face of chaos?

In this episode of Life With Strings Attached, Jamie Gale sits down with Bob Robinson — a luthier, furniture maker, and all-around builder — to hear how his journey took him from working in gang territory on Chicago’s West Side to redefining what it means to make a classical guitar.

They explore the lessons learned in violence, the quiet joy of craft, and how to build a life that doesn’t just survive — but resonates.

A story of danger, reinvention, and craftsmanship without compromise.
