ous and has a nice flow," says
Steinhardt, explaining why he thinks
people will enjoy the music of the
Bunker Boys. "It's good traveling
music, too."
Plus, Steinhardt is donating 10 per-
cent of the profits to the Friends of
the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF).
"I've got two big passions in life," he
explains. "Eretz Yisrael [the land of
Israel] and Am Yisrael [the Jewish peo-
ple]."
The album is available at selected
independent music stores and can be

Steinhardt. "He told us, 'Don't call us,

more than 160 stations around the
globe — 10 in Michigan — are play-

song getting the most airplay. To sup-

Publishing Co. LLC and joined the
American Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).

Lying Low

The Bunker Boys — who use the
tagline, "Music that cooks with a west-
ern flavor" — are Willie "Whiplash"
Stern," Chuck "Diesel Dragon" Litvin,
Peter "Keys" Pisarczyk, Joe "Little Joe"
LiCrici and Matt Binder. Like
Steinhardt, "Whiplash" and "Diesel
Dragon" are Jewish. Howard Fridson
of Fridson Studios in Royal Oak,
Steinhardt's friend since their days
together at Henry Ford High School
in Detroit, drew the CD cover art.
The story is good, the idea is cute,
but why should folks buy the album?
"It's uplifting, entertaining, humor-
