Aloha Joe's Steel Guitar Hour | Where to Find the Recordings

"Pure Steel Vol. 1"

Johnny Farina
(label unavailable)

This is a relatively new recording you should have. Johnny is an HSGA member; many of us grew up on the Santo and Johnny "Sleepwalk", which -- as I recall -- was in the "Top 10" onthe record charts for months, and is now a memorable standard. Fans of the duowill surely enjoy Johnny's steel recording. CD is $12.99; cassette $7.99. Add$3.50 to either for postage/handling. From: Johnny Farina, Box 643, GreatRiver, NY 11739.
