Aloha Cyril Pahinui...

[Ritchie200]

Although my dad never gave me any formal guitar lessons - he claimed he didn't know how to play what I was listening to..! He played Hawaiian slide and slack key in his younger years.  I learned how to play on his guitar, a 1938 Supro metal body resonator - my prized possession.  I inherited his Hawaiian album collection, some 78's in there!  I've always enjoyed "Hawaiian" music.  About 15 years ago I really started to get into slack key and started studying some of the masters.  Two of them were Cyril and his father Gabby.  I guess not for everyone, but I really love the flowing melodies. Sadly we lost Cyril yesterday.

I love you story about you Dad and the Supro.  Cyril had a great touch.
