Ha!

I thought this was Leo Kotke!
What a neat ending to listen to for the first time.
Beautiful!
So it's 8:15 am Sunday June 21st and I'm drinking my coffee and looking at the horrorshow of online news headlines and said to myself that I need some quiet acoustic guitar instrumental music like Slack Key and I launch Radio Paradise and lo and behold Bla Pahinui is playing! Bill read my mind. Thanks Bill!

It's Friday downunda: Pau Hana Time!
That was very nice.
In 1998 I was working at Old Dominion University. My office was part of the student union. I left the office one day to go get lunch and heard the most amazing music coming from downstairs. I thought it was some recording, but found out it was a live performance. I assumed at first it was just some busker, but it turned out to be Richard Gilewitz who was playing a concert at ODU later that evening.


I asked him if he had ever heard of Slack Key to which he educated me that Slack Key uses open G tuning - exactly what he was playing. I just sat there spellbound.

I love slack key. This is outstanding.

I don't know who came up with slack key tunings, but they made the world a better place.
Pleasant.
Wow! Nicely different, but most excellent!
