David Buskin & Robin Batteau aren’t what you call household names, but you absolutely know their work. Along with a terrific career as performers, they’ve written hit songs for numerous singers, and some of the commercials they’ve written (Chevrolet’s “Heartbeat of Amercia” is one) are immediately recognizable.

They recently joined Jim Monaghan for an “All Mixed Up Live” taping to discuss the craft of songwriting, and they even join Jim on a song he’s been attempting to write for years.
