Jeff informs that he's now a regular at THw/oAK (Halekulani) every other Tuesday starting Feb 3. Waikiki just got better, and hearing more of that big fat StringMaster triple neck will be quite welcom ...

Seems Greg has lost the Tuesday evening Halekulani gig again, but Jeff Au Hoy has been seen filling in on Mon. and Tues. recently.

I have the older version of this model, great steel.

No Clinesmith, or any steel, to be seen at the gig last night. Nice electric stand up bass played in it's place tho.

If you can find a 8 str. DynaLap for $300 or less you'll be a lucky pup, worth much more, hard to find now tho. And I'm only familiar with the composite style, but can imagine the solids are good too. ...

Kona Bob will say 'not much'.

It takes a lot of talent to produce all those sound effects. How many of us could replicate this act?Maybe none on the SGF, but Bobby Ingano can do all that beter and in a nicer tone without the overd ...

The old case even smells like me.TMI!
But agree on the older sound as preferable, got pix to share?

I talked to Don the other day and other than the few magazine articles from a year ago+ that you may have seen there's little to update at this time. Some stuff has gone down due to some people that o ...

I'd suggest hitting the subscribe button for more JD videos as he posts them, he's got about 500 entries and no doubt will have more top quality.
