Call this one "History of Steel Guitar 1a." We start off with early members of the Hawaiian Steel Guitar Hall of Fame: David Napihi Burrows, Annie Kerr, Jules Ah See and the King of Steel Guitar, Sol Hoopii. Then we swing through Gabby and sons (and Sons... of Hawai'i, that is) to more contemporary players like Ken Emerson, Henry K. Allen and George Kuo. All along the way we'll be swayed and thrilled and lofted and seduced by the sweet sound of kika kila - the steel guitar - perhaps the most widely adopted invention of the Hawaiian Islands.
