BIO
Reviews
The Kids Left. The Dog Died. Now What? - "Corbin Abernathy plays multiple roles in this show...Abernathy is at his best when he sings a catchy and humorous tune entitled Doctors,..."
Stage Door Magazine
The Secret Garden - "The highlight of the show, however, is Corbin Abernathy as Archibald Craven. Mr. Abernathy's solos...are heartbreaking, and his brief scene with the sleeping Colin is devastating in its tenderness."
Jaques-Albert Bromberg SINK Magazine
Lost in Yonkers - "...Abernathy gives an assured performance as the boys' troubled father."
Robert Baxter South Jersey Courier Post
Starlight Supply _ 2007 Philly Fringe - "...classic comedy pacing...plus, you've gotta admire a short, slapsticky farce that allows an absent-minded stargazer to beat the insurance industry at its own loophole lovin' game."

This is a rehearsal recording for a Philadelphia concert in Sept. of 2010. My grandparents, Jack and Mattie Mae Cook used to sing this song together back in the 40's & 50's back in South Carolina. The steel guitarist is Jim Cohen and the pianist is Nile Weber. Both sang the backup vocals as well.
