Aloha all,

I've redesigned the HSGA Member's Recordings web page. It was getting too big to navigate. Give a look and a listen.
http://www.hsga.org/membersrecordings/MembersRecordings.htm

If you have postive suggestions - post them. Negative - email me.

Any HSGA'ers out there that want their tunes posted? Contact me.

Nice Gerald! That's much better. I agree that it was getting difficult to find songs.

Nice work! Two suggestions: put the tunings for each song, make all the songs available in MP3 format. Thank you.

Gerald Ross.........what a truly great up-grade of the site. It's really nice for those of us who've not yet attended any of your events, to have the opportunity now, in our own homes, to view the person that is doing the playing; getting to see what instruments they're using as well.

Great site.........THANK YOU!

Jee, I could listen to most of these dudes all day and all night. My computer is banging out these songs continuously. No wonder my wife has told me to keep my steel and computer in the basement.

It won’t be long however until I’ll be putting the babes in the mood for some grass skirt, hip swinging dancing.

I am not right all of the time but I sure like to think I am!

Hi Gerald,
Well done! I like the new format with the pictures/sound clips. Thanks for all that you do in promoting the non-pedal steel. I look forward to seeing you in St. Louis next year.

Thanks for all the good comments folks.

From this point on, all the tunes will be in two formats - MP3 and Windows Media. Very few people were downloading in RealAudio... it's gone. Maybe I'll go back and convert the old tunes to MP3, maybe not. I do most of the web work during my lunch hour. Only so many volunteer hours in a day... (I tried to get the HSGA to pay me 125K a year to be the webmaster - they said no).

I want to add more tunes and more players! Come on, get on board! I've received gig offers from people hearing my tunes and other contributors have received gig offers as well.

Fame and fortune await you! Because of people hearing my tunes online and contacting me for gigs, I can honestly say that I've made less than a million dollars playing the steel guitar!

The only requirement for inclusion on the page is that you are a current, dues-paid-up HSGA member and that the tunes are steel guitar oriented. They don't have to be Hawaiian.

I will not post recordings of your nine year old child's Christmas Pageant...unless they play:

"Jules Ah See Is Coming To Town"

"All I Want For Christmas Is a Pre-War Rick"

"Have A Haole Jaole Christmas"

"I Saw Mommy Glissing Santa Claus" (that image will haunt you forever)

Keep up the good work and thanks for making MP3s. Now, what about adding the player's tunings in the Notes area?

Dan,

It's up to the artist if they want to share the tunings they use on various songs. Many of the tunes list the tunings.

I'll gladly post the tunings if the artists volunteer them.
