Hula Blues and SGR in Moscow

[Alexander Stepanenko]

A few days ago we played Hula Blues in one of Moscow night clubs. I played on a Fender Stringmaster D8 26". Filming with the phone.

And this Steel Guitar Rag , but in another club.
Here I tried to add to the accompaniment of little Latino.

You sound really good, Alex. Nice feel, fluid style.

I especially like your sound on Steel Guitar Rag. Do you get good audiences there? You are the Russian Ambassador of Hawaiian Steel Guitar!

[Alexander Stepanenko]

Thank you,Mike! Interestingly ,Hulu blues I played on the club Fender de luxe, and SGR on his Roland Cube 40 xl together Boss Me-70. Good to hear the difference between the lamp and the transistor.. Solo concerts me yet,but I think that now is not necessary. The more far no one of us knows where is the Embassy Hawaiian Steel Guitar)))

The two hula dancing girls........
should be reminded that the hula is all about "KEEPING YOUR EYES on the Hands"..........

Enjoyed seeing and hearing your great playing. THANKS for sharing.

Great stuff Alexander. You have a terrific feel for the style and instrument. I'm very impressed.

Good band too. Funny to see that the bass player is using a Kala uke bass. Sounds good!

Best of luck to you and your band. Hope you get lots of gigs!

[David Matzenik]

Fun stuff, Alexander. That's a real party band. You know, I have always thought that Okolehao was just Hawaiian vodka!

[Alexander Stepanenko]

Thank you!

[Tonu Timm]

Great playing indeed, (dancers should check out what is that hula dancing all about thought:)

[Doug Beaumier]

Very cool, Alex! You're getting some nice sounds from your Fender. I'm trying to "Keep my eyes on the Steel" but they keep drifting to the ladies dancing! Fun stuff.

Was there a step guitar in that clip?

Just kidding. Fun group and audience vibe and very nice steel playing.
