My wife, Nina, and I went to The Freight & Salvage here in Berkeley last night to see and hear Bill Kirchen and the Lost Planet Airmen.
It was an amazing, high-energy performance with every minute enjoyable.
And, the band featured two steelers. It was a real treat to see Bobby Black still playing out at 90 years old, and Peter Siegel doing a great job on Pedal Steel.
If they show up near you, ....go!

Bobby Black was a big influence in getting me started on pedal steel. The Airmen came over here in '74 and BB is the only American steeler I've seen live!
He's still an inspiration - I want to be playing at 90 too!
