Colin,
Thanks for that sunshine from the sunny south east of England. As usual the BBC does a fine job with historical narratives. This story is worth making a film over!!!
My other home is in Cambridge, where I grew up after early days in India. I began my love affair with steel guitar in that country and was majorly influenced by Garney Nyss, a pupil of Tau Moe in Calcutta. I still have recordings of Garney playing Tau Moe style.
I met Tau in Hawaii a few years before he passed on and he was most inquisitive about what was happening about steel guitar in India, said he had taken his family back there in the 80s for them to understand the country they had grown up in. I have some other anecdotes...
Maybe we can meet for a beer next time in Blighty. I am also in touch with Baz.

Kay, it would be great to meet up when you are in the UK.
I've replayed all the Tau Moe tracks I have over the past few days, and am looking forward to the second part of the program.

Two of Hawai'i's greatest female singers, (IMHO) include Aunty Genoa, and Rose Moe, (and there are many others of course). Rose had a very unique quality in her voice. Alzheimer eventually claimed this lady. Almost to the very end of her life, although she had difficulty in recognizing familiar faces, she was still able to sing many of the old hulas seldom heard today.
I sure hope you can post Pt.2 of the BBC show Colin. Great documentary. [This message was edited by George Keoki Lake on 09 October 2006 at 10:13 PM.] |
