This was quite a tricky one but well worth playing as it gave me such an insight into Sol Hoopii's playing style and the steel guitar music from the that era. Played on a Gretsch G9231 metal bodied resonator with back up from a tenor ukulele and a ukulele style bass. I hope you all enjoy,
Mike. |

Nicely done! I've got to get back to learning new material but time and a healthy fear of forgetting the other songs I know get in the way. |

Thank you Joe, Jim and Veit for watching and your kind comments.
Lloyd, The hardest thing is remembering the material. I usually play them for the video and never play them again. Seems like such a waste!

Ha! I know that problem. If there only was a slot for a memory card somewhere! |

Thank you Roy. The Gretsch Resonator is the Spider bridge type. Not sure there will be many metal bodied instruments with a single cone spider bridge!!! |

Thank you Joe. As I have got to understand more about steel guitar playing, the more I am impressed by and love the playing of Sol Hoopii! |
