T-Dan,
Last I heard, Ray Sowders visits Uncle Ray pretty regularly and can fill you in. |

I got an Amazon gift certificate for my birthday from my sister in Australia, and I picked this DVD out and watched it last night. Very heart warming and enriching. Does anyone know how Uncle Ray is doing? I read where he has had some health problems that have affected his mobililty. I hope he's doing better. I'd like to send him a note, if anyone has his address...Please e-mail it to me?

I'm watching it over and over...certainly can tell who Bobby is. Cannot figure which one is Makana.
You know what is really neat about this video? The way that Auntie Elodia looks at Uncle Ray....pure love in the eye. If you are going to be serious about your guitar pickin', need one wife who appreciates it as well. |

Don't know who the boy Uncle is giving the private lesson to but there is a young boy about 10 years old sitting in on one of the Kanikapila's who goes by the name of Makana he turned out to be pretty good  He was a student of Bobby Modero's (Maunalua) Bobby is in the video as well and Bobby was a student of Uncle Ray's |

I'm blessed to have a fairly large collection of performance videos and DVDs -- mostly of the for-sale-to-the-public variety; a few which we (or friends) filmed at various concerts/gigs here and on the mainland. Typically we watch them, then file them...with every intention of watching them again someday. Riiiiiiiiiight. 
Well we actually re-watched this DVD Sunday night, and it's still an amazing collection of wonderful music and awesome talent.
Now that TV seems to be in full summer re-run mode, mebbe we should spend our summer evenings watching ALL our old films?? |

Matter of fact, we just watched it again last week, and I was wondering if anyone knows who that young boy is who Uncle Ray was teaching? I'd be interested to see how he turned out, to see if he is still playing slack key. Also would be interested in knowing who was playing with Ledward on stage at the Slack Key Festival. The gentleman who was emceeing the show, I believe I have seen elsewhere, perhaps on another video.
We also watched Hawaiian Rainbow again...Jerry Santos and Haunani give me chicken skin. |

Don't often get this far down the menu soi just noticed this thread. What cught my eye was the title, including the words "non-instructional"
I would offer that any time you can watch someone play anythng on guitar it is instructional. Especially if you have your own guitar out while watching. Get in open G, capo up or just barre frets up and down the neck until you find what key the performer is playing in. Chances are you will be just a step or two off, or maybe a little flat or sharp with respect to the performer. Find the key, tune to him, and watch what he does. Heck, i go to concerts and sit in the front row or take bincoulars to find out what tunings and/or licks a guy is playing. Found out after thirty years that Tom Rush plays a lot of hsi stuff in open C! Why didn't i think of that?
Picked out several of Kottke's tunes the same way, both from live and video performance. If yo have any kind of ear, get that axe off the wall and try to play along with anybody. As i may have posted earlier somewhere else, John Keawe's video (sorry i forget the name ibut it is him guiding us all around the island playing a number of songs) is extremely instructional. You can learn to play every tune on there just by watching.
On the first look at Uncle Raymond's video i picked up that tune he ws teaching the young boy to play. Never have found out the name, but it was easy to figure out just by watchin.
I understand not all of us learn the ame way, but for thoe who can "hear" the music, it is a great way to learn and not have to rely on tab
Good pickin' |

I wholeheartedly agree with Dusty...a worthwhile replacement for the video if you already own it and even more of a must-have if you don't.
For those who don't care about DVD, I'll give my copy of the video to the first person to reply below! |

There are some great shots of Sonny playing with a sewing needle bouncing on the strings - priceless. And I just want to be able to play the opening vamp to Hawaiian Rough Riders just once - YEEEE HAAAA! |

I have seen the DVD and it is a gem! It contains two wonderful bonuses. There is a (too small) collection of still photos from the making of the video and a bonus video of Ray Kane in Washington in 1987, receiving his endowment for the arts award. It has footage of him playing and talking about slack key. In it, he plays punahele sweeter than I've ever heard him play.
The conversion from VHS to DVD is excellent. This is a real treasure!! |
