Hi,
two of the 3 songs linked in this thread are originally done by the Kilima Hawaiians, a band from the Netherlands. In the fifties they were very sucessful in Germany with there songs tranlated to German language. The steel playing on the Kilima Hawaiian records was always excellent IMHO.

Pretty darn good for a Carnival act. Maybe I'm just getting old. Love those marionettes.

Somehow this reminds me of the old Katzenjammer Kids comic books.  |

| Good old Hans & Fritz! I have no excuse, I would like to sound like the old Captain, the Inspector & Mama. Rollo was one of my favorites, I wanted to be like him with all his adventures, DO YOU REMEMBER? Jay Y. Night night. |

I remember Hans and Fritz and the Captain and Mama, but I'm a little hazy on the rest of it, except of course the hopeless caricature of the native chief with the bone in his nose. Even as a kid, I just thought it was the most bazaar juxtapositions - Germans in the jungle, or on a tropical island, or wherever they were in the tropics.  |

| It looks like he isn't muting at all with his left hand. Is that a standard "Hawaiian" technique?? New to me! |

David, I always took the setting to be German West Africa or Tanganyika, both colonies were siezed by the British during or shortly after WW1. Of course Katzenjammer sounds Dutch so they could have been Afrikaners too. Forgive me for getting off subject. I have always had a secret admiration for genuine eccentricity. This guy is all of that plus a pretty good performer. It is not easy to jump back and forth between singing and a tight melody arrangement. Is that a painted backdrop behind him doing On the Beach at Waikiki? If so, he gets even more stars from me.
