Just got a CD of this guy's stuff. I kind of dig it. The over
the top warbling vibratos they use. I know you guys are
chuckling with amusement. But hey. What was old is now new.

You may run me out of here if you watch this. I'm just
intrigued by this Hawaiian steel guitar stuff.

Nobody is getting run out of here. Read the Welcome Page.
And Hawaiian lap guitar and music in general is intriguing.
Did I ever tell you guys that the first electric guitar I ever
saw in the flesh was a Lap Steel guitar? Well it was.
I was in I guess 5th grade and I had befriended a new kid in the
neighborhood. Went to his house and his Dad was actually
playing it. The fellow I'd befriended, Steve Roper was his name
I think, asked if I wanted to go on to his room and I asked if
we could hang and listen...He said "My Dad drives me crazy
playing that thing". I was transfixed though. It was such a
beautiful sound...I couldn't tell you what brand it was or what
amp he was playing through, other than it was a small combo.
Didn't set me on path towards that kind of music, but the whole
electric thing sure got a firm grip on me that day. I do
remember that the family had lived in Hawaii for several years
while his Dad worked for the Navy.....Don't remember much else
except that Steve was hard to guard against in basketball but
terrible at baseball. Not that I was all that at either sport.

Never heard of Bill Brozman but he gives a nice history of steel
guitar.
