My wife got me a mess of stuff from "Down Under" ... as Holiday gifts ...
But truthfully ... I haven't got past D. McIntire Vol 7 ...
Mr. Kinney's vocals paired with some of D.M's best playin' (in my opinion) ... makes this CD A Must Have ...
Phewwww !!!!!!!

Ray Kinney was a HUGE name during the forty/fifty era. He was one of my favorite singers and it was a real joy to actually meet him in 1970 when we spent many fine hours together talking story and some ukulele fun. It was during his stint at the Hotel Lexington in NYC that Alfred Apaka was "discovered" and the rest became history. Ray and Dick McIntire collaborated on a number of radio (16") transcriptions together, all of which are real gems.  |

Beautiful reproduction of a scratchy old masterpiece! Obviously a young Ray Kinney.
Thanx Rick. |

When Jeff Au Hoy first started postin' ... he'd put up a tune he liked from his collection ...
Then I'd try and "one up" it with an earlier version ... usually Sol Hoopii.
So in "that vein" ... heres Sol Hoopii's version of Kolopa
I really like this song ...

One more "one up-man-ship" ... Just cause I'm abit down today and I feel like hearin' something MARVELOUS.
Bruce Clarke emailed me the other day:
quote:
I see you mentioned Kolopa on the Forum.
Sol's Kolopa & Little Grass Shack was the first record I ever bought back in 1941 when my teacher gave me Little GS for a lesson.
I recently sent JB a talktape & in it I mentioned a performance he did of it in the mid-80s.
I have to say nobody that I've heard squeezed as much juice out of that tune as he did.
I answered:
quote:
I have a cassette tape of one of JB's earliest Hoolauleas ... in which he closes the show with a medley of Kimo Hula/Kolopa ...
Is that the one you heard ... if so, I have to agree ...
He said something like "This is your you Ethel" ... and man, it was about the prettiest thing I ever heard.
I ordered his arrangement of it immediately after hearing it and its been in my "playlist" ever since ...
But I never seem to get it right ... such a pretty song ...
He answered:
quote:
Yeah Rick, that's the Kolopa
Here it is ... Jerry Byrd doing Kimo Hula/Kolopa
Ever heard that one Ray ???
Hows that for "compare and contrast" ... Dick McIntire, Sol Hoopii and Jerry Byrd.
Ahhh, I feel less stressed now ...

Thanks, Rick, for posting the beautiful contrast in the history of the world's greatest instrument, IMHO. I loved em all, but I'll have to say when the "Master of Touch And Tone" puts on a set of picks and picks up the steel bar...well, he can hurt you...real bad! It is the most haunting, beautiful sound I've ever heard.
Thanks for what you, and so many others do here on the forum.

Good Post. Thanks to all for the info
Speaking of Sol Hoopii's Kolopa , if somebody is interested I have it Tabbed by me anywhere. In A high bass in the Key
of D, I think.
regards
Fernando
