Hi there,i'm in old vinyl lp's again like a lot of people are doing in this days.I was looking for some country,folk and other styles with steel guitar and in an old shop I founded a box with hawaian's 78 rpm.
One is Roy Smeck two songs from old movies(i will go to pick the cd recording on monday and I will tell you the exact name),ferrara's "cielito lindo" and "o sole mio" and a lot of disc's of an orchestra called "felix mendelson" along with a few more.The price is really cheap,one dollar and cts for each one.Could some body tell me the mane of the biggers orchestras of that era? I know the betters steelers were smeck,ferrara (or ferrera?),joseph kekuku,sol hoppy,freddy tavares etc.
so,if somebody are interested in that stuff,i will pleased to share it.BS AS was a great and important city and port at those years,so,Im sure is full of treasures like that,I will cheack it for more.Regards |

Hola Ariel,
Mi mama y papa son de Buenos Aires.I play Hawaiian as well as old Jazz and even tango of that era on steel guitar.
I would say see if you can find a Los Lupes (maybe also called Los Lobos)album. That's Oscar Aleman with a steel guitar player. I don't know if it was ever recorded but,t hey did tango and milonga with guitar and steel guitar.

Now, that's interesting.
Ariel, Felix Mendelssohn And His Hawaiian Serenaders were the preiminent 'European' version of Hawaiian music troupes of their day, or maybe even any day. They were great, and included many Polynesian musicians and dancers for authenticity, as well as some of the best steelers produced outside of America. Roland Peachy being tops.
BTW, it Sol Hoopii and Freddie Tavares.
Two of the very best steelers, and Tavares went on to fame at FenderCo with his creations of the Jazzmaster and Stratocaster guitars. |

AJ: Wowwww ,I'm tango guitarist,both spanish and electric (graduated)and is the first time I hear about oscar aleman playing with an steeler!!,is increideble your knowledge about history,I promise you, I will hunt those records,just wait me.I can asume you know about "la cumparsita" played by jerry Bird ? I never here it,is the old Tango right? because there's another cuban song named la comparsita,so,i hesitate about it...
Ron: thanks for the info,I will buy those records to make an mp3,I know about freddy tavares fender's credits and i guess he was the man who recorded the old walt disney cartoons? right? when I was in S t louis at the Scottys convention I was in front of he's plaque and I Thought how many times I listened this man when I was a kid in the seventies. |

Ariel,
Lovely to hear from you and Buenos Aires, and tangos... Steel guitar tangos are very attractive, but I have not heard many. I may start a new thread on this subject. By the way, the Cuban song is called " La Comparsa", composed by Ernesto Lecouna, and is no relation to " La Cumparasita" that Jerry Byrd played. Here is a steel guitar version of " La Comparsa"
