Step lively now. Back in the eighties, during her busiest years as a Manhattan Piano Girl, Robin Goldsby had a subway routine. She made her bridge and tunnel trip thousands of times in the fifteen years she lived in New York City. She says: "I never tired of the view from Queensboro Plaza, the way the serrated Manhattan skyline taunted the humble Queens horizon. The two parts of my life—where I worked and where I lived—remained separated by a yawning moat of fast-moving, murky water."

Robin Meloy Goldsby, host of The Piano Girl Podcast, reveals the comedies, tragedies, and mundane miracles witnessed from the business side of the Steinway.

"Astoria" features the track "Crossings" from Goldsby's album Home and Away.
