Aloha Joe's Steel Guitar Hour | Where to Find the Recordings "Ho`opi`i Aloha from Maui"Ho`opi`i Brothers Another "keeper", folks, by the Ho`opi`i Brothers, with Led Ka`apana on slack key, Chris Kamaka on acoustic bass, and for the moment, I'm gonna make you guess the steel player. First, a set-up: if it's Fall where you are, grab a sweater, a cider or beer and go sit on the front porch where you can feel the tang in the air and watch the colored leaves float to the ground. If you live in eternal Summer (as we mostly do in Hawai`i) grab a cider or beer, etc. and sit back under a shade tree. You're in the country, about to listen to some very fine, nahenahe Hawaiian "back porch" music from some Hawaiian musicians who give plenny aloha through their music. One guess who the steel player is. Has to be Bobby Ingano. The rest is the remarkable traditional style of falsetto singing, for which Solomon and Richard Ho`opi`i are renowned throughout the world. Mt. Apple Co. is the producer, so the recording should be available at major record outlets. On the Net, go to Mt. Apple's website, or order from Auntie Maria <auntie@mele.com>.
