Hawaiian music was such a big part of my early listening and learning Steel Guitar. I never forgot my "roots"
I did love this song and many others on the famous Hawaii Calls program in the 1950's.

Thank you!
There are two takes on that clip. The first is E6th with "E" on top and the second is C6th with pedal and a low "C" on the bottom.

Very nice old song Roy and very well played too, a lot here will want you to explore your roots a bit more I think.

When it comes to TOUCH and TONE, I'm not one who believes in reincarnation. However, I'm tempted when I hear CANADA's greatest MASTER of TOUCH and TONE ! Jerry Byrd must be smiling at you, ROY !
