From "Independent-Kansas City" by Katherine Baxter, Issue 13, Volume 33, May 15, 1915 (on file in the Missouri Valley Room, Kansas City, Missouri, Public Library)
Looking back on the thoroughly well-equipped musicians who have for many years given their very best efforts to Kansas City, one's thoughts turn, most naturally, to Lawrence W. Robbins, the organist and pianist, who for the past twenty years or so has been closely identified with all that is best in music and who has gone on his tuneful way, modestly, steadfastly and successufully.
Mr. Robbins was born in Kansas City and was certainly gifted from his earliest days with the true musical instinct; he made his first public appearance when he was ten years old as a singer; at 13 he made his debut as a pianist, and after that was lost sight of awhile because he was getting down to solid work at his music and putting in the real foundation. He studied for many years with the famous organist, Clarence Eddy, of Chicago, an later went
abroad where, under the masterly direction of Barth, court pianist, and Otto Dienl, the renowned organist, he acquired that style and technique which have made him master of that wonderful instrument, the pipe organ.
During his musical career in this city, Mr. Robbins has been organist of the old Walnut Street Methodist Church, the Grand Avenue Methodist, Calvary Baptist, Second Presbyterian Church, and for the past nine years has played for the congregation of the First Church of Christ Scientist. For many year he was musical director in the Lexington College and at present is president of the K.C.Association of Organist."
