Where to Find the Recordings
As we've welcomed so many new HSGA members in the last few years, this is a good time for a "discographic" (if there is such a word) list of some of the good Hawaiian music recordings with steel guitar we've heard and/or reviewed in past issues of the Quarterly.
Most should be available at major book/record stores, or from Harry's Music, 3457 Waialae Ave. Honolulu, HI 96816 (Call Alan Yoshioka at 808-735-2866). You can also order from Auntie Maria's website (www.mele.com), or through Aloha Joe (alohajoe.com) or the record company's website listed below.
