That would be terrific, Fred... Anything you think would be appropriate for a tribute article. Hopefully, something where he isn't too much in the background.

Many thanks,

Hello All,

Hello, Mike.

I think I have all I need at this point. What a great resource!!

Thanks again, John

All,

I'll vouch for the quality of Magnatone's higher-end steel guitars. My Waikiki workhorse is the longscale D-8 Keoki mentioned above. The story I heard was that Magnatone gave away a bunch of the ...

Bill, Ricky, and all

The Deluxe is overall my favorite amp of all time. I've used it on most recordings, and here in Hawaii, it would be a fantastic live amp since most of the music here is low-volum ...

Hill,
