With George Kahumoku & Bob Brozman coming together on Dec. 5 - Dec. 7 for a Song Writing Workshop, I have been enspired to put together some of my tunes on my home page. I am hoping to meet a few of you on Maui, and to get a chance to polish up my acoustic steel with the help of these two great musicians. PS, you may recognize the logo on my page. Sarah Whitaker did the artwork which could not be more perfect for my web site. Thanks again Sarah!!
Aloha,
-Konabob

Konabob,
Alas, I could only hear brief sonic glimpses on my dial-up. That is sad because I'm very fond of slide/steel guitar. Thanks anyway. The bits I heard sounded very nice.
Aloha, |

| Doesn't work for me, either - maybe because I use Netscape? |

john,
it worked for me when i switched from netscape to explorer. my guess is that it has something to do with what plugin is used.
with netscape, the little radio noise that comes up first was fired off in a newly created window that contained the standard media player controls (position, volume, rewind, etc).
aloha,
keith |

| Konabob, the direct links are to .shtml files, not the MP3s. I can post the MP3 links here if you like, but I'm not going to do it without your permission. In any case, you now have 7 tracks on my iPod! (And a still-only-partially tabbed Ironwood Moon on my computer.) |

My goal is to be able to play as well as people think I can. |

| Thanks so very much Konabob. Tonight the MP3 streaming worked; the net must be a little more quiet. I prefer to download music I'll want to replay, so I'm downloading. |

Aloha e Konabob,
I'm looking forward big time to George's workshop, too! He mentioned something to adapt an acoustic guitar for playing slide called a "nut extender" (I've gotten lots of spam about enlarging my penis, but I don't think I've ever heard of this...). You know da kine, and if it works as well as a 16 penny nail?
Please know my good thoughts are with you as you go through chemo. Support, love, music, a positive outlook and the healing powers of Hawai'i itself are important to have doses of, too.
Looking forward to seeing you again at the workshop. E malama pono. |

Internet Explorer works perfectly! I like how the radio works. You have a very nice touch on the steel, by the way...
I'm sorry to hear that your chemo treatments are keeping you from sharing and enjoying music with others. I'm glad you're able to share your music with us over the internet, though. |

Very nice work Konabob! You make the Weissenborn sound very full and complex.
I was similarly inspired to play taropatch steel (without the talent), so I've converted a cheap Montana travel guitar for this purpose. These guitars aren't good for anything else, but they work well for steel. There's a picture of the nut extender, too.
Check it out at http://www.imbris.net/~jessehj/steelguitar.html
If you set up a taropatch steel, it's also fun to play slide blues, too.

By the Way KonaBob,
Are you going to add anything to the Virtual Kanikapila project?
You are the one who basically got the whole thing started and
your contribution on Bass and/or Slide would be the core of
the song. You are also skilled enough in computer recording that the
technical stuff is no problem for you.
So are you still interested in this project?
(Inquiring minds want to know)
