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.
Our sweet friend and collaborator of over fifty years, Marshal Aaron Rosenberg, died suddenly on Saturday (7/20).
To those who knew him, this is a stunning and unacceptable loss.
Our hearts go out to his family, his partner, Dr. Ruth Livingston, and his legion of friends.
Ruthie, Robin and I will be putting together a memorial concert in the near future.
If you worked with Marshal and would like to participate, please let us know.
RIP, dear friend.
David Buskin

We had a great time with Christine Lavin, John Forster, Shanna in a Dress and Julie Gold during the 2023 Buskin & Batteau and Friends: April Fools' Tour. Here are a couple of photos:
In Sellersville, PA, it was a special surprise when we discovered that Steve Chapin was in the audience. Christine decided to have us all (including Steve) join in on her song "Sensitive New Age Guys."
More info on upcoming concerts will be posted on our Concerts page soon.
