RIP, 87, an accomplished self-taught classical Hawaiian steel guitarist, performed professionally until three years ago. He began playing the instrument at 13 after meeting guitarist Les Paul at a concert in Phila. After the concert, Paul took the teenager to a music store, where he first played. There Mr. Rambo bought a steel guitar with earnings from his newspaper route. (Washington Post Obit.6/27/06)
