Got the answer to my question:

[George Robinson <grcomm...>]

This from a 1969 profile of Nyro:

Laura Nyro's from the Bronx, the daughter of a trumpet-playing
     Italian-Catholic piano tuner and a Jewish mother who works for a
jeweler
     in Manhattan called Jolle Jewelry.

Guess that settles that.

George (He's so self-sufficient) Robinson
