Bill Leff with Island Breeze in Santa Cruz?

Post by Don Kona Woods »

I believe that one of our forumites Bill Leff plays on occasion with the Island Breeze in the Santa Cruz area. I believe that this is Bill playing the Hawaiian steel guitar? Am I correct? Nice playing, Bill.
Better make your plans for Joliet. Casey Olsen is coming.

Island Breeze

Aloha, :)

Thanks for the shout out!

Patti Maxine is in the band, but I sometimes sub for her or the lead guitarist.

Aloha Bill,

Nice meeting you at Da Grille last weekend. Great playing. Funny you should mention Patti Maxine I just posted some videos of her in this same section just a few posts down.

Nice one!

I like the steel's muted strings in the middle of the tune.
