| Iv'e seen Roland Peachey mentioned here on the Forum, and I recently found an old magazine picture of him with his triple neck instrument, flat bar and all. I can't post pictures here, but if anyone would like a copy I will be glad to attach it to an email. |

You can put me first on that list Bruce.
Thanx!
Mitch, 'google' Felix Mendelssohn and His Hawaiian Serenaders, or Roland Peachy to find quite a bit of CD material by both, all of it is great. The Mendelssohn CDs are generally compilations of 78s from various stages of the troupe's career, and featuring a number of fine steelers, like Harry Brooker
(who died serving in WW2, but had a son named Gary...), Pulu Moe, etc.
George, I'm sure you'll recall Peachy's steel as being an English bred 'Abbott', with Rick PUs.
Jeff, see my post further down and prepare to be blown away. I wish it was this easy to get the JM stuff![This message was edited by Ron Whitfield on 23 October 2004 at 02:42 PM.] |

I recently learned that there is a Roland Peachey CD available, entitled "rhythm of the islands"
Import, from England I think.
Has anyone heard it?? I think i have only heard a track or two by him, on anthologies, but this is an entire CD devoted to him.
22 tracks inc. The World Is Waiting For Sunrise; Who's Sorry Now; Cherokee; Chez Moi; Indian Love Call; Brazil |

Mike that is an AWESOME clip!
Thanks a bunch for posting it.
By the way, was there any more footage of him made that you know of?
I know there is a lot of great stuff out there...films of Joaquin Murphy and other steel greats. It would be great if someone could colloborate an effort to preserve this stuff onto DVD before it is lost forever.

For more veiwing of the incredible Mr. Piche', go to www.britishpathe.com , hit 'archive', log in, 'search' for Felix Mendelssohn, Roland Peachy, Hawaiian guitar, etc. to find a bunch of killer video from the 40s, as well as other fabulous footage on any subject thruout recent history.
And the kicker is, it's all available for sale![This message was edited by Ron Whitfield on 23 October 2004 at 02:18 PM.] |

| Basil, any more of that interesting info on other UK names from that era, like Harry Brooker, Ronnie Joynes, Ray Higgins, and (somewhat later) Vout Steinhaus? I have a piece of sheet music somewhere with Harry Pahene/Brookers picture on the front. |
