I was down in Los Angeles last night, and wound up tuning in the FM station operated at Cal State University in Northridge. The content was a "Jazz Show", but the "Jazz" music broadcast during the show was very diversified. Right after tuning in the show, they played the tune "Adventures in Paradise", as recorded by Jerry. I had never heard any of his "Island style" records, but I knew that he played it over there. The tune absolutely floored me. It was "luscious" music to my ears, and not at all what I had (ignorantly) expected "Hawaiian Music to be like. Very impressive. |

Right On Rich, I have that recording and play it often. I play it on the C6th neck on my Fender 8 string also. That Hawaiian tune is absolutely exquisite, but remember, the steel guitar is in the hands of Mr. Jerry Byrd. Rick |

Marty Robbins did two Hawaiian albums with Jerry Byrd that are just incredible. There are a lot of songs on them that were written by Robbins/Byrd - I assume that Marty wrote the lyrics and Jerry wrote the music. Every song has a gorgeous steel solo in it. |
