I am ashamed to admit that I know absolutely nothing about Hawaiian music. Anyone have suggestions concerning Hawaiian music?
Thanks,
Lenny |

Hi guys!
Thanks for the feedback. I just ordered Radio Sol and Kailua. The sound clips sound great!
This will be a new area of steel guitar listening that I know I will enjoy.

You picked my favorite D. McIntire and Radio Sol was "a must" ... I have them all.
Hearin' Andy Iona changed the way I play ... a true Epiphany 
When you have "digested" those ... Iona's "Songs of Old Hawaii" and "In an Old Hawaiian Village" should be next on your "hit list" ...

| All the Cumquat discs are fantastic. It's a tought choice, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be Royal Hawaiian Hotel (Dick McIntire). I seem to listen to it the most. |

Jeff, I agree with your choice. However, to us mainlanders, Hawaiian music will always mean "steel guitar", or as Jerry has often stated, "It's the Signature Sound of Hawai'i". My own personal taste is, and always has been definitely Dick McIntire. There's never been another quite like him. Bobby Ingano is a real knock-out these days!!! Wow !  |

| What's really cool about the K. Lake Trio recordings, is that you can put the steel in yourself by playing along with the music. |

Nani Hawaii by Jerry Byrd.......with Danny
Kuahna(sp?) and the Islanders, IMHO, is the best example of steel guitar....and Hawaiian sounding music. The other stuff mentioned is certainly traditional, classic, and well done but JB has always put it in reach for me to grasp. |
