Thanks--I love slack key also. The historical part was very interesting.

Jim, thanks for posting this. We love this music while visiting Hawaii but did not know of the slack key tradition.

We also enjoy Dennis Pavao. Nothing like listening to his music in the dead of winter to raise your spirits and put you in the Hawaii vibe.

Me too! Slack key on O'ahu...

I've been playing slack key guitar for about three years now, after finding some neat recordings. Love it.

While on O'ahu, you can hear Cyril Pahinui (of the famed Pahinui family, and famed in his own right!) at the Kani Ka Pila Grille in the Outrigger Hotel in Waikiki on Wednesday evenings. A great show.

Cyril also gives workshop classes at the Bishop Museum. I took one of his workshops at Columbia University in New York City last year and it was terrific!

When you come home, you can keep up with doings in the slack key world on www.taropatch.net. They list various performances and workshops all over the place.

By the way, I've been looking for some other slack key players in the northern Virginia area...anyone know of someone who might like to get together and jam?
