Going to the Big Island

Post by Roger Marshall »

I did a search and got some good info from the HSGA site. Any other tips on where I might find some good live steel guitar would be much appreciated. My wife and I are going to be on the Big Island (10th anniversary!!!) from the the 30th of May through the 4th of June. Thanks!

I love the Big Island, it is my favorite Island. 8)

A group of us, HSGA steel guitar players, just played in Kona where we were hosted by Kona Bob at the Kona Canoe Club.

I believe that he might have some good information for you, so check out his website, which includes a telephone number.

John Auna lives on the big island .... He's an excellent steel guitarist whom you might look up.

Kona Bob's web page makes you want to go over and start playing with him and his friends.

Mahalo Bill...This is sad news. John and his wife Ginger are such fine persons to meet and know. Our prayers will be with them. :cry:

George, Warren went to to the big Island to see John, and was told about him being in the hospital in Honolulu. Derrick knows more about it than I do. BILL
