A Legendary Video Performance By Sol K. Bright
02/26/09 at 3:32am
 
Here is a legendary Hawaiian, Sol K. Bright performing his famous "Hawaiian Cowboy."
This performance takes place in Winchester, Indiana in July, 1986 at the International Hawaiian Steel Guitar Festival.
He was the special guest that year.  He played some steel guitar but he was a little rusty in his playing so he mainly sang and played the ukulele.
You will enjoy this performance

I love Sol's work and I wonder if he put out enough records to fill a CD. The 78 of Honolulu, How Do You Do, on Youtube, is good example of just how good he was at that vaudeville style. Makes me curious about the B side. Harry Owens devotes a chapter to Sol in his own autobiography. Here is a pic from the book.

When Sol came to Winchester as the guest artist he also played in the "Garage."  For those who are interested here is a video of the "Garage." Jam sessions at the "Garage" were often all night jam sessions. A more complete pan of the garage occurs at the end of the video.  Part of what you do not see is the seating area for the listeners. Also, the garage door would be opened so others could hear on the outside.  Some of the old timers will have many stories to share about their experience in the "Garage." You will recognize some of the people in the video.
