Love Remembered, Love Forgot has seven new songs, two older ones we’ve never recorded, and three previously recorded songs given new – definitive – treatments. It’s got guest appearances by our friends Tom Rush, Jonatha Brooke, Krista Detor, Pat Wictor, Trina Hamlin, Eric Schwartz, Yani Batteau, and Sophie Buskin. It’s got a dee-vine rhythm section: besides our third arm, percussionist Marshal Rosenberg, there are Jeff St. Pierre (bass), Kevin Barry (guitars), and Corey Schreppel (drums). It was lovingly produced by Neale Eckstein at Fox Run Studio.
Both the Huffington Post and the Boston Globe have published articles about David & Robin. You can read the Huffington Post article here and the Boston Globe piece here.
Hey Gang,
Good News!
We have some new shows on the schedule!
On March 31 (April Fools Eve!) we will begin the first ever, Buskin & Batteau and Friends: April Fools' Tour. We will be joined by our very funny friends, Christine Lavin, John Forster and Shanna in a Dress (on 4/1, Julie Gold will be filling in for Shanna in a Dress). The shows will honor comedy music icon Tom Lehrer (who just made all his songs Public Domain) and the wonderful Cheryl Wheeler, presently on hiatus, who makes us laugh just thinking about her. We will all be on stage at once, taking turns accompanying one another on piano, electric-acoustic violin, guitars, harmonies, and the occasional uncalled-for counterpoints, singing songs from Tom and Cheryl along with our own bags of tricks. The shows currently on the schedule are:
- March 31, 2023 - The 8th Step, Schenectady, NY - 7:30 PM
- April 1, 2023 - BOMBYX Center for Arts & Equity, Northamton, MA - 7:00 PM
- April 9, 2023 - Sellersville Theater, Sellersville, PA - 7:30 PM
