Hey Robin Just wanted to wish you & the Guys a Happy Heathly New Year. Hoping to see you play live soon. My CD's are getting worn out. I need my Robin Lane & The Chartbusters fix. Only Happy Thoughts Love Ya Cathy

Happy New Years to Robin and the Chartbusters ,past & Present. Thank you Robin for Signing those Pics. GOD BLESS

Hey, Robin! So glad I found this website and happy to hear you're still out there making music. I'm wondering if the Robin Lane and the Chartbusters album is out on CD since my vinyl copy is scratchy and worn out...

Hi, Robin. Roger from Hollywood here (1969-197_). I would have sent you an e-mail, but I couldn't find an address for you, so please excuse this awkward and cumbersome workaround. I heard your NPR interview recently and your voice brought back wonderful memories of you and Glenna and "Revelation (you remember them, don't you?)" and that innocent time. I like the music you've been doing since then, but I think I still prefer your old stuff, like "Set Me Free," "My Country," and "Blues In The Night." I still play my ancient reel-to-reel copies of those (both the studio versions and the Video Lab sessions). I should probably burn them onto CDs someday. Unless, of course, you have them on an album already! In any event, I'm so happy you're successful doing what you want. I'm in Reno, Nev., going for my Master's Degree in journalism, and am having a ball. I've tried unsuccessfully to track down Glenna, so if you know where she is, please give her my best and ask her to get in touch. Same goes for you. Much success in the New Year. Love, Roger

Hi Robin, I just discovered you and the chartbusters tonight by catching a video of "I Don't Want to Know".I decided then I would like to hear more. I bet the kids writing songs IS a great experiance and sounds like a good thing for everyone. Look forward to hearing more of your songs...rock on

Oh, I almost forgot, consider you and the band invited to play in Houston.

hello everybody happy new year.........hopefully will be so especially if we can get these people back from iraq and get a new and better monkey in the white house. i hope you all keep visiting me here even if i don't put any albums out for awhile. You have to be rich or able to sell what you do........well...the fat lady hasn't sung yet. Roger.........I would love it if you made a CD of all those old songs and sent them to me. Believe it or not I don't have any copies and haven't heard them for years. i'm in school too but don't really have a major. Interested in learning everything....except math. Don't know if we'll be performing anytime in the near future but will let you know. I may start doing some solo shows combined with readings from my memoirs or memories........wouldn't want to sound too hoity toity. well i better get to sleep. I have a big day tomorrow glazing over a color i'm not too fond of in my new very small house. The other day I found tracks of a big animal in the snow right outside my back door. Tonight I saw a million stars and everyday there are eagles swooping overhead.

Hi Robin I just wanted to tell you I have always loved your music. I have to get all your CD's as I have the vinyl copies of 3 of your first albums. I found a cassete I made years ago of them and have been wearing it out on my care tape player I have always liked the messages you put out and the music has been second to none. God bless and take care

Hey there! In 1982 Robin played on one of my faverite albums from then. Fun In The First World by Andy Pratt. I was wondering if she was still in contact with Mr. Pratt and what did she think of the album? Thanks and God bless

Robin maylotsofhappinessblessyouwithallthemusicyouhavegivenus.ihavelistenedtoyoufor25yearsanswillcontinuetodosofor25moreiamsoexcitedifinallyfoundyouontheinternetandpurchesedpastmemoriesthatwillbringmelotsofjoy....

To Robin -- I was ecstatic to discover this website in response to a Google search on your name and to learn that your debut album and newer recordings are available on CD (how did I miss this earlier?). Your music defines my college years in Wisconsin and I've felt lost without it. We first "discovered" your music on MTV and my friends and I were hooked. I'm bummed, however, to learn that "Imitation Life" is not available in CD format. Can anyone tell me if there are any plans to release this fine recording on CD?

Hi there, believe or not Robin Lane has a fan in Brazil. I appreciate this beautiful voice since a friend gave me "Imitation of Life". I bought her solo album on "secondspin.com" this week and I can't wait to listen to. I still have some difficulty with my English, so when I discovered this site I finally could sing along "Idiot", my fave Lane's track. Thanks for your music, Robin Lane. Best regards, Ulisses

Robin, I'm sure you don't remember me, but I lived with you for a brief time as a young teenage girl. My guardian, Felicia, was your room mate. As I sit here listening to some music piping through my headphones, I listened to a voice that reminded me of your voice many years ago. So, I thought what the heck and did a search. I'm very happy to see that the music industry has been kind to you. Next time I'm record shopping, I pick up something from you. Best of luck to you. Jenifer (aka fl0w3r http://www.mikeandjenifer.com/jen/blog/)

Hi Robin, I love your song "Why Do You Tell Lies" which I saw and heard you perform live at Wellesley College in Wellesley, MA. during the 70s. Imagine actually being able to message the rock star more than 20 years later! Thanks very much!

Hey Robin, Could you please post the lyrics to my favorite song "SAY GOODBYE".in the lyrics section,And maybe some guitar chords to it. GOD BLESS ....

I remember seeing Robin Lane, The Cars, and a band called The Rings all in one week, those were the days. That sound "New Wave", sadly is forever lost.

Hey Robin, Just wanted to say Hi and see what you were up too. Hope you are well & things are good. Any readings or gigs planned for the near future? Miss seeing & hearing you & your 4 husbands. Well let me know. Take Care and Only Good Thoughts. Cathy Hey Roy whats up with the website it hasn't been updated for a while?

I remember the "heady" days of early MTV. This was where was first exposed to Robin and her Chartbusters. I just couldnt believe how such talented group. Finallly thanks to Napster]type programs I saw I was not alone. AS a famous man once said;"Ich bin ein Chartbuster" And the rest is history...

whoof woof tula lu robin robin we LOVE you. the little red dog from maine

I still think back to those days at the Rat (78-79)You guys were the biggest thing in Boston and the energy was in the air. Still waiting to see you guys down South... any chance. PS. I've always thought that Aimee Mann borrowed a lot from you. She was a classmate at Berklee and went to your shows. Any thoughts?

Hey Robin Just wanted to wish you a Happy Healthy Mother's Take Care Only good thoughts Love Ya Cathy

Hey Robin, Just wanted to wish you a Happy Healthy Mother's Day, Take Care Only good thoughts Love Ya Cathy

Hi, Robin, I've got "Don't Cry" going through my head today, so I thought I'd pop in and say Hi. What a beautiful song that is! Congratulations on your recent successes with the CD and live shows. I will always treasure the memory of seeing your surprise stage appearance at Asa's 50th birthday party at Toad in Cambridge, when you sang "Idiot", my favorite song on the second LP. Keep on rockin'! Mr. Gil

For sale, very special collector's item: Genuine musicassette with the original demo's for "Perfect therapy" that Andy Pratt recorded himself at his home during his stay in Holland.

Great RL & the CB performance at the Shea Tht! Very cool.

Hi Robin, Found your site listed at AllMusic.com -- good to know you're still around! Always loved your music. I remember seeing you with Jon Pousette-Dart at a small club in Billerica, Mass. around 1988-89. I think it was just you two singing and playing. It was quite a surprise -- I don't think you were billed there for the evening. Take care, and thanks for the great music.

As a long-time fan who owns everything on vynil, and now CD; my question is: Will "Imitation Life" ever be released on CD. (I'm tired of having to deal with my home recored cassette.) So glad you are still recording.

A Quick thanks to robin for her work with the womens group in turners falls. A friend of Karen's. Author of my saving grace.

I remember buying " Imitation life " in the record store so many years ago . I can't BELIEVE it's still going ! I love it !

Michael, Russ, Cathy Cooper, everyone else out there in world. Thanks for your very sweet and heartfelt messages. They're my treasures. Yes I've been doing some great work with the women from the Pioneer Valley. We're in the process of recording the CD of songs written by women, most of whom are in stages of recovery from all sorts of different traumas. It's amazing the awful things that people can do to each other. We need to honor our brothers and sisters on the planet..........love really is the answer. It's so simple people don't get it. You can help those in your own backyard. Finishing up another Giving Youth a Voice CD and A Woman's Voice. Still on the massive hunt for funding. It's trickeling in and I hope that these two new recordings and the healing that is occuring in the participants as well as the amazing songs being written will influence those who can help these programs continue. No Imitation Life CD that I know of. Unfortunatly I don't own the masters to these recordings. I am not in control of when if ever they will be re-released on CD. You can purchase "Piece of Mind" It has some old tunes on it. The whole band minus Pat the Black, did a show out here at the Shea Theater. A good time was had by all. I brought one of the women from A Woman's Voice up to sing two songs with me and performed another song written by one of the women. Tim Jackson (Bo) spent the night at my new very tiny house out in the country. Next day we woke up and took a walk up the hill to visit the cows in the open meadow. It was so funny I almost died laughing. Bo was stuck in the middle of them. They were checking him out as he tried to make a docudrama with his digital camera. We got scared they were going to turn into bulls somehow and charge us. Tula Wouldn't stop barking. Reminds me of a song from the first Giving YOuth A Voice "Bovines are Mean and Cruel" I fully intend to record an album with the Lonesome Brothers of my country songs. As well as and hopefully this summer record more of my lounge type songs with Milt Reder from Four Piece Suit. I'm doing a living room tour of Maine in July. Augusta, Hollowell, Portland and some of the islands. I will be reading from my book and singing some of my songs. It should be alot of fun and I hope to see you there. I will post it on this website when I find out where the salons will be held. Love to you all especially Kit in case he ever visits this site remember..........believe none of what you hear and half of what you see There is so much misunderstanding amongst humans even blood kin. If it's possible reconcile

For something like 24 years I have caried a tape of a song I made off an acient boombox of this great woman seeing really good rock and roll. It was a part of rushing in and out so I missed the title and the name of the artist. I still have this tape and will ask people if they have ever heard to song (why do you tell lies and a peice of another song.) Well guess what, I just discovered somethig all of you have known for years, Robin Lane and the Chartbusters. It's like Christmas and first love all rolled into one! Ryan-in Oregon

robin - happy birthday !

Hey Robin HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!! Hope things are well. When are we going to see you out & about Miss Ya Only Good Thoughts Love Ya Cathy

Hi Robin - don't know if this will ever reach you, but have to try. Jeremy (Radcliffe) would very much like to contact Evangeline - he's leaving for Iraq in August for a 14 month tour of duty...he has tried to find you both, but hasn't succeeded, I guess. Anyway, in the course of my day today, I stumbled across your website, and thought I'd give this a shot. Great to hear you're still playing! Linda Randall randallk@oneonta.edu

hi Robin these days i'm recording my old stuff into my computer. and i found a cassette with a 20 minute-compilation of a show you once did in Holland. the titles are (probably): three wishes, shelter in a wasteland?, education of love, metroman? and walk away. if you're interested let me know,i can ask my daughter's friend to load them up somewhere or so. i'm still impressed by a sort of magic "on-going" in the songs. and it's good to read you're doing fine. burt

GREETINGS FROM IRELAND! Just a note to say hello to you Robin and wish you well...haven't seen you for years. I hope to catch you next time I'm in the USA. Take care, CHRIS (www.johnnykeenan.com)

By the way...WHEN ARE YOU FINALLY GOING TO RECORD THE IRISH SONG???

hi Robin, oh what a bummer!! we had been planning to see you tomorrow night in So. Bristol at Bridge House, lined up the sitter, only to just find out it was LAST WEEK! Noooooooo! I think we got the date confused with Jane, ahh well. I even brushed up on a few of your tunes and Round and Round, in the event of a post-jam. Rats! Well maybe we can have you up here to Boothbay Harbor for an encore. Coincidentally I had just been reading quotes from you in Shakey, innarestin'...looking fwd to your book of memoirs. All the best, Pete Thayer

I feel privileged to have been at your "living room concerts" last month on both North Haven and Vinalhaven Islands---energy, soul, passion, intelligence and humor. I BOW down to you and BOW wow to Tula. r

Dearest Robin, So wonderful to hear good news about you! The album, the seminars, the book, and the living room tour - I am so impressed!!! I am about to start teaching my music business seminar again this fall round the US. Can you believe I have had over 50,000 students since 1986? BUT I took a few years off and have done just "Strategic Management" for a few of MY favorite artists. I have thought of you often. The other burning desire in my life was the startup of the New England Rabbit Sanctuary - a home for cast-off Easter bunny pets. 143 Sleeping in the main room tonight! I bet you drove right by us in Wiscasset on your way to Boothbay! We are openning more around the country. **** Anyway, please email me your phone if possible. I would like to talk to you about publishing your book and funding. I have had great experience with both through my companies. Let's quietly explore. My Very Best To You! Peter C. Knickles

robin, so much fun to see you on your mini-tour in Maine and to hear your songs and excerpts from your book -- and to watch the animated, and impassioned response of audiences many of whom had never heard you before. come back soon!!!!! ----jane

let's see........Jerry Springer anyone? How did this start? Catherine thanks for the fun. To Someone who knows.........wow.....thanks for the support...who are you? Jay thanks for the kind words. Chris.......don't know about Irish song....it's too bad it wasn't recorded back in the day when Bono said he'd love to sing on it. I wish I could come to Ireland and play my tunes. Burtand Ryan hello.....I'd love songs from Holland. I'll get in touch with you. Loved doing the livingroom performances in Maine so I've taken it to upstate New York. I'd love to do more of these so if anyone has ideas on how that can happen let me know. Kate.....I don't have your number. Thanks for the heartfelt messages. I'll try to find the #

Hey Robin Very dispointed I missed the Maine shows Was on vacation and my computer was down so I didn't get the info. What's up with the drama, someone who knows doesn't seem to know anything if they did they would of left their name!!!!! Hope all else is well with you & the guys. Take Care Only Good Thoughts Love Ya Cathy

Hi Robin, I don't know you at all personaly, but needless to say I am still a lifetime fan. I noticed some negativity on your message board and I want to tell you that some of us love your music, think you are talented, and only have this message board to talk to an artist that we really like. I hope I'm not crossing the line by saying if people don't like your music,so what, but putting it on a message for us fans to read is disrespectful, SO ONCE AGAIN ROCK ON A true blue fan in PA. BEST WISHES Jesse M in PA.

Keep that priceless mind of yours well cared for; you are a rare and wonderful unique soul. May the road rise up and meet you in your journey.

I've been a Robin Lane & the Chartbuster fan for over 25 years She is the most underated talent in the business if not the best one of the best singer songwriters I ever heard This web site is about Robins music not her personal life please use it for that I hope this personal bashing ends here!!!! Robin please let us know when you will be out and about playing & reading I hope it's soon Take Care Only Good Thoughts Love Ya Cathy

Hi..........I think it's time to delete some of the messages that have nothing to do with music and more to do with ? I don't know what and at this point I don't want to know. Thank you everyone who sent the supportive messages to me. Evangeline my dream girl sticking up for her mum.... Cathy Cooper and Linda and Theater group from New York. Who are you? I need more creative people in my life. Working hard here trying to get "A Woman's voice" CD finished and manufatured. No requests for living room concerts yet. Come on you guys. I need to play for you and the living room idea is the best ever. Get in touch Love Robin

Hi. At Robin's request, I have removed the messages related to personal attacks against Robin and others (including those in defense of Robin and attacking her attackers). I deleted messages as a unit, i.e. I did not edit out parts of messages. If I deleted some on-topic material that was in the same message as off-topic material, please feel free to repost. Note that I do not delete messages unless Robin asks me to (or I see a message has been erroneously posted twice). In this case Robin waited, but then decided that it had gone on long enough and it was time to delete the negative messages. Now let's please try to keep this message board on topic.

Hey Robin Hope things are well with U & Yours The Living Room concert sounds like a good idea Would like more info on it if I could let me know on this site or U can e-mail at the above address at any time thanks in advance Only Good Thought Love Ya Cathy

Hey Robin! Absolutely psyched to hear you tonight...gotta warn ya', I'm bringing Catbird Seat (still in heavy rotation on my CD player), and I'll be expecting an autograph! Love, Your Pal (way back, think Chalk Street), Albie P.S. Ever hear from Dave Doms (was that his name? bass player)?

Hey there Robin, Would love to have you on my Birthday yet I am going away in October for my birthday to St Thomas. I will have your DVD's. My mom still listens to you alot and wishes you well. You and Evangeline. All the best, I think its great. I can't wait to see you again. Love ya, Linda

Robin, Meant to say sorry I missed you as my husband works till 6:00pm tonight. We are still living in CT till July then heading back up to Boston. Hopefully he'll book you to come up some time in November. Hope its not too far, I am in Manchester. Would love to see you and hear you again, Linda xxxxxxxxxx

Hey Robin, Was great to see you & talk a few minutes on the 9th. If its ok with you, I would like to do the living room concert, mine is too small so I'm looking into having it at a family members house or a friends house. I was also talking to the women you meet up in Maine, Suzanne said she would love to have one so I'm going to touch base with her. I'll keep in touch & let you know Take Care Only Good Thoughts Love Ya Cathy

Greetings, once again, from Ireland. Well, Robin, you CAN come to Ireland to sing. I've always believed in your music, and would be happy to book some dates for you here. Write to me at my e-mail address. Best Regards, CHRIS www.johnnykeenan.com

Hi, I remember a very old song by Robin Lane, which I think was entitled: "Memories". This song was played very frequently in the late 1970's / early 1980's on radio station WCAS (a sort of folk / alternative radio station in Cambridge, MA); this predated "Robin Lane and the Chartbusters" by several years. Does anybody have any info on this song? I'd be interested in a CD or recording of this song if it's available. Thank you very much, Peter A. Campbell (e-mail: peter_a_campbell@yahoo.com)

Hey Robin, As one of your verses in your songs, *I was thinking of the Red Sox*, Well, I think its our year!

I felt so good coming out of the voting booth today, I had to hear some music in the car on the way home. Good thing Piece of Mind was in the player and In My World was qued up. The whole parking lot at Precinct 8 knew where I was coming from! It was like a cleansing of filth to cast that vote and send that same message your song talks about. I pray that others made the same choice for hope, rather than fear. Now to visualize change, growth and cooperation.

WOW Pete...........Just came here saw your message. What do you think happened? I'm beyond sad or angry........all those people dying and for what? And what's next? There's no end to him doing exactly what he wants, no matter what. I'm down.........but we can't give down a chance. Up with People. Yes.......... Peter........I wouldn't mind hearing Memories again myself. Can't remember how it goes but it was a decent song. Hi chris in Ireland. I wish I could visit your the emerald isle.

ROBIN, JUST HAD AN EIGHTIES MOMENT TODAY LISTENING TO THE RETRO LUNCH ON WBRU IN PROVIDENCE AND THOUGHT OF HOW GREAT YOUR MUSIC WAS. I NEED TO GET A RECORD PLAYER AND LISTEN TO YOUR STUFF AGAIN. WELL DON'T MEAN TO BORE YA, JUST GOOGLED YA AND THE LIVING ROOM SHOWS SOUND GREAT. THANKS FOR SOME GOOD MEMORIES. STEVE L (LAFRANCE27@YAHOO.COM)
