This Friday (and the first Friday of every month) Howard Davidson and friends will be hosting Bluegrass Night at the Starlite. If you've ever been to the Tuesday Night Bluegrass Jam, you know how much fun it is. Bluegrass music is like baseball at a Fourth of July picnic. Everybody can get in the game. Don't have a mitt? Play with your bare hands. Or here, you can borrow my mitt. What's the batting order? Doesn't matter as long as nobody cheats and everybody gets to bat.

Saturday night, Peter B. King hosts. Back in the day, Peter was the music critic for The Pittsburgh Press. Now, he's an editor at The Post-Gazette. He has a tasty, jazzy guitar style. He'll play a set accompanied by bassist Mark Perna, and he's invited Rick Malis and Robert Wagner to play. Peter will accompany Rick and Bob for their sets, so there's liable to be some magic in the air.
