The Steel Guitar Forum

Here is the song "From Hawaii to You", composed by Lani Sang and played by my band Kanis and Lou.
We were inspired by Alfred Apaka and the Hawaiian Village Serenaders' version from the Tapa Room Tapes. I discovered these Tapa Room Tapes thanks to this great forum. Another song I discovered from this recordings, "Frenesi", will be on the forthcoming album of the band.

Hope you'll like our version.

Everybody need a Clinesmith! I already have one and think about another one!

Really great sounding band! Thanks for posting, Paolo. Good luck to ya'll!

Absolutely beautiful

Wonderful!

I saw this elsewhere but no harm in answering again. Excellent Paolo. I am a huge fan of your group. Love it. I also need a Clinesmith........ or any Ricky really!

Top stuff! Nice video production, good lighting. I had no idea that song was a Lani Sang. He doesn't seem to have turned out a lot, but it was quality over quantity.

Cool!

Me too! Looking forward to hearing the take on Frenesi!

Thank you for your kind words ! It means a lot.
It's a pleasure to play in this band. Corentin, the percussionist and Matthieu, the Upright bass player aren't into this music as much as Lou and I, but anyway I think we are starting to find a decent sound. We just need to play more together.

David, the only other song I know from Lani Sang is Mapuana, another song I like a lot.

Concerning the sound of the Clinesmith Frypan, this guitar has so much to give, I am really pleased with it. The only other steel I like as much is my Fender Dual Pro with these great Trapezoid PU. I am just curious to try other amps than my Fender Pro Junior with the Clinesmith.

Thanks again

Very nice, Paolo! Good luck with this band.

Paolo, there are two tracks by Lani Sang and the Poi Boys on Spotify. Sea and Sand, and Ginger Memories. I assume they are Lani's compositions. They are both very nice songs with good steel guitar. I think there is another well known number by Lani, but it escapes me.

Thank you Mike, glad you liked the video !

David thank you for the tip. I don't have Spotify but I will try to find the two tracks you mentioned.

Verrrrry Nice!!

Cool music!

Nicely done Paolo!

Thank you Joe, thank you Daryl !

I have always liked everything you do Paolo. Lou and the band sound great, so I know you will get the sound you are after. Joe
