Uke site w/pix of old Hawaiian steel greats

Some cool shots of rarely seen or heard Hawaiian steelers that had the goods in a time when everybody was good, and the competition stiff.

That's Jack DeToro with Johnny Pineapple, and Tommy Castro with Ray Kinney. Awesome players.

Ron -

Do you know if the Pulu Moe trio is related to Tau Moe family?

As I recall, Tau said they are cousins.

Those of you who are aware of Jack Detoro will know he played probably the sweetest steel guitar of his era, back in the forties. His tone and touch was just awesome. He was without any doubt, the best steel player Johnny Pineapple ever used during his career.

And note in Ukulele Ike's pic... he has the cigarette stuck in a string on the headstock.

Just like a rock 'n roller!

Cool, man! These cats ruled!

Craig.
