"FLOWER LEI"
Sol Hoopii and His Novelty Quartet.
Recorded in mid 1930's
He was an Hawaiian guitarist, claimed by many as the all-time best lap-steel guitar virtuoso, and he is without any doubt one the most famous original hawaiian steel guitarists, along with Joe Kekuku, Frank Ferera, Sam Ku West and Ben "King" Nawahi.

Never anything like this on planet earth. Have his stuff towards the end of his life, a Christian cassette box set thing, even that is lovely too.12 years ago

I have been listening to Hawaiian steel now for 50 years and Sol Hoopii still remains at the top. His intonation is without competition.13 years ago

It brings back memories for me. My father was a really good friend of Sol Hoopi's. Dad had the Aloha Rythum (don't know if I spelt that right) Boys. The groups use to get together and play for fun. I saw some of it as a very little girl, but don't remember much. This is where I got my love for Hawaiian music and the people.13 years ago

Good. But do you have any recordings by MIKILANI FO? She was one of the few female steel guitarists back in the day (recorded for Waikiki Records)....and,actually played on her own recordings (they didn't use studio musicians).13 years ago
