Aloha Joe's Steel Guitar Hour | Where to Find the Recordings "Swingin' in Paradise"Ken Emerson & Michaelle Edwards It's foot tapping time when you listen to steel guitar artist Ken Emerson, and his rhythm guitar and vocal stylist Michaelle Edwards on a fun and wonderful new CD "Swingin' in Paradise" . And does it ever! As the liner notes say "... a delightful collection of original and traditional Hawaiian-style swing compositions and jazz standards." Ken plays a 1927 National Tricone, 1930 National Style `O', 1939 Gibson ED-150 electric lap steel guitar, and 1920's Martin `ukuleles. Michaelle plays a 1961 Martin D-18 guitar and a Taylor 412 CE. If you have Ken's 1997 "Slack & Steel" CD, you know his sense of humor and "loose and breezy" style. Michaelle's voice is right out of the best of the 1940's Big Band vocalists -- light and lyrical, pleasant listening after today's "screamers and weepers". Duo vocals, too. Again, contact Alan Yoshioka at Harry's Music, or if you're on the Internet go straight to Auntie Maria's website to order. HSGA * HAWAIIAN
