Did anyone else catch ACL this past weekend? There were quite a few acts that I really enjoyed, and the house band made it bearable for the few I didn't

.
Greg Leisz was on steel... I muchly enjoyed his playing, especially the non-traditional playing in Robert Plant's song!

I know the show was scheduled for PBS in the greater Bay Area begining last Saturday evening, and I was going to DVR the thing to be able to watch it later because we were meeting some friends for dinner.

They made a change in our programming here and it was nowhere to be found. I searched the menu in the cable system every which way and still came up empty. I expect at some point it will be aired, just need to keep my eyes peeled.

Bummer! If your TV search comes up empty, PBS does have episodes online.

I was lucky enough to see this show live, and Greg's playing was a treat throughout.

The next night of the Americana Fest, Leisz played a great set with Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale at the Cannery. There are a few clips on YouTube with crappy camera quality but great playing:
