Excellent job, Craig!
Bob, What a beautiful job. How many of us old rockers and folkies have caught the slack fever from Queen Lili. God bless her. My storie is much like yours. Keola, Ray, Sonny and all the great young slack players have re-inspired me to start playing again. Like coming home. Your axe sounds great and your picking smooth. Aloha and Maholo from Olympia WA.
Stacey, Also one of the first songs I mastered in Slack. Through some mutual friends I met Ray's daughter Faith, her husband Nino and their awsome kids. She has an amazing voice and they are all talented. What a treat. You sound great! Very smooth! Sweet Sistah! Keep workin on those caluses. Good luck. Larry
Good job by Dusty Foster on Mauna Loa. I like the sound! I added it to my station Nothing But Guitar. I has a lot of nice acoustic guitar music.
I just discovered your collective page & I'm thoroughly enjoying a listen through. It's so nice to hear others doing this--I, too, love slack key & have a few pieces up of slack key with National steel.
Cheers,
MH
