We all need a vacation
« on: July 10, 2013, 11:21:07 pm »
Wish I could take one but.......... I'll just daydream instead.

Played this last weekend at a show.
Doing it again this weekend.
Too much fun though I'm still not very good at it
Enjoy

My dad would have dug that!  He played Hawaiian slide on the Supro resonator that I inherited.  Great stuff - reminds me of years gone by!

Thanks guys.
Still working on it.
Just don't have the time to pursue it the way I should.
I am considering it my "retirement instrument"......maybe in 20 years I can get really good at it.

>>who did the Hawaiian vocals for you at the show?

I only know the chorus.
I had a mic.
Everybody, somehow, knows this tune so it was a sing along.

>>My dad would have dug that!  He played Hawaiian slide on the Supro resonator that I inherited.  Great stuff - reminds me of years gone by!

Nice geetar.
Still have it?

Yupe, them tickets are not cheap.
I've been going back, by myself, about every 3 years.
Now with the family, I don't know when the next time will be.
Have you been here to visit him?

Oh yeah, I'll never sell that.  Made in 1938 and I still have the pop up nut for slide work, and a couple of packs of Black Diamond strings!!!  It sounds fantastic.  I started plinking on this guitar when I was about 5.  It had what seemed like bailing wire for strings!  The action is pretty high anyway, so my fingers were always killing me.  I'm surprised I stuck with it!  I have a huge library of Hawaiian music on 33 and 78.  I love slack-key and slide.  My wife just shakes her head when the next cd is Black Sabbath :dontknow:

I like to fade on the island vibe.

It was a Guitalele.
Check one out sometime.

Peace.
