That's amazing. Jerry's E9th and guessing he probably played it on a frypan.
Were you at that event when he played Rick?
Thanks for posting this.

[Rick Aiello]

I wish .. ha ha

He sold cassettes of several of these shows via HSGA back in the 80’s …

Rick, thanks so much for posting this. It's nice to hear some "outside" the norm tunes.

Aloha Rick!

From what Casey Olsen told me, the earliest Ho'olaulea show was at the Ala Moana Beach Park, and in the early 80's.

All the old timers steel legends were still around then, and they all were featured.

That was like the Super Bowl of Hawaiian Steel Legends. lol.

Truly masterful. I loved the feeling of traditional mastery pushed to the edge of avant garde. So much going on within that performance. I can literally hear him playing the silence between the notes.

So, his 7 string E9, B D E F# G# B E, is what we’re hearing? Did he also play an 8 string version with a low E? I thought I heard some pretty low notes in there.

I have that arrangement … E9 8 String

Hi to lo. E. B. G#. F# E D G# E

If case you missed it … here is the only other JB tune from that show: A medley of Kimo Hula and Kolopa
