O on the web site.
Planning by potential patrons would be possible/a bit easier if there could be some basic info available at this point. |

Have you tried posting this question on the HSGA Discussion Forum? Are you sure there's a convention held by the Hawaiian Steel Guitar Association? I see no mention of it anywhere on their site.

| The HSGA convention in Hawaii meets every other year. This is the off year. The next convention will be in 2009 scheduled for April. Sorry Ron. |

I was told the people there were looking into a session at the library and maybe more (sorry, don't remember the details) I think they are waiting to see how many people show up on this off-year get-together.
I think they also have discounts at the Queen Kapiolani for this off year, but not positive about that. |

I musta misread everything I heard recently, but maybe there will be other stuff planned, and I do know that next month's Steel Guitar Sunday at The Shorebird will feature all HSGA members as guest artist.
Paul Kim was last Sunday's headliner. He was backed by 2 legends, Kuki Among/vocals/guitar and Harold Hakuo'le/vocals/bass (some cool 60's Japanese ginzu ...thing).
Besides these 3 great singers, Hawaii Falsetto Contest winner, the man behind www.50thstateradio.com , and one cool steeler, Jersey's Bill Wynne hopped on stage for 2 numbers and immediately blew everybody away with his vocal expertise.
Next month should be another winner. |
