Like to have this song on the Forum, but I don't know how to upload. Any advise? Attached is my band picture dated 1965.

Jozef, you first need to upload your MP3 to a server.
There are several free hosting servers available.
Then you post a link to the file on the forum.
If you like, I could host it on my server for you and send you the link.
I'll send you an email with instructions. |

Thanks Rick and Andy for your kindly words. I play the steel for more than 40 yesra (still learning) but I never recorded a song. The band "The Warriors"
that I am now playing with made 3 CD's and this song was on our third CD. This band is not a Hawaiian band. I used my rickenbacher BD-6 for this tune which is one of my favorite steels.The 7 string wooden(oak)frypan that I made with the help of my friend Elva West (Tradewind steel guitars) is also one that I really like. Regards. |

Josef, wonderful!! Your approach is very reminiscient of Setsuo Ohashi.
I love the way you and Setsuo approach a tune with that "no holds barred" philosophy (please excuse the very poor pun). I wish I could be so spontaneous. |

| I am glad to hear that you all like it. Thanks for your replies. I like to record more of my playing while I am still able to do it. FYI: I am 76 years young and hope to be able to do this for many years to come. I will post more of my recordings as soon as I find the right players. Mahalo Nui Loa. |

I have met Jozef a few times and we have played steel guitar together. He is an excellent player and a kind and very fine gentleman. I am extending him an invitation to do some recording...
