I was on KALX UC Berkeley last Wednesday at 9.00 a.m.

I guess I should have posted this earlier !

They'll be sending me a recording of the show, so maybe I'll post an MP3 file when they do...

I don't know why this got moved to SteelRadio.com. I wasn't broadcast there, it was KALX.

KALX's been a great and crazy station around these parts fer just about ever. Allan, did you play some steel tunes down there?

No, it was a program about mediaeval instruments and early music. They interviewed me about the instruments I had built, and in between the dialogue they played about six tracks from my CDs of early music which I had multiple-tracked playing each of the instruments myself. I put those tracks together in my basement in Montclair during the 90s.

I have an mp3 file of the show if you're interested.

Recently my recordings have been more country, folk, blues and rockabilly, but I intend to get back into recording some more mediaeval music once I've finished the instruments I'm currently working on. After all, I have more instruments now than I did 15 years ago !

I've also thought of putting together some traditional numbers on mediaeval instruments, backed with pedal steel. As far as I know it's never been done before.
