Such beautiful Ki Ho’alu. I sometimes play this beautiful music in the background whilst I'm doing other things, this music makes me happy, (one of my favourites is Ledward Kaapana, especially with Fran Guidry e.g. Opihi Moemoe and Salomila). There are so many other favourite genres I like such as Cajun (e.g. High Life Cajun Band), Zydeco (e.g. Lisa Haley and The Zydekats), Bluegrass (e.g. The Petersens), Hillbilly (e.g. The Hillbilly Gypsies), Mountain Music (e.g. Mainers Mountaineers), Dixie Music (e.g. The Carter Family), Country Music (e.g. Willie Nelson, Randy Travis, Merle Haggard, Rosanne Cash etc) Australian Country Music (e.g. Troy Cassar-Daley, Lee Kernaghan etc.) Oklahoma Country Music (e.g.The Tractors), Beautiful Indonesian Music (e.g.Ismail Marzuki, Gamelan meets Orchestra), Beautiful Ambient Music (e.g. Fridrick Karlssen), English Folk Blues (e.g. Pete Stanley and Wizz Jones), American Blues (e.g. Leadbelly (Midnight Special) and Hoyt Axton (Cocaine) Big Bill Broonzy (Guitar Shuffle), I also like Reggae (e.g. Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff etc) ... and a polar opposite, I also love Chinese and Taiwanese Music (Jessica Ho, MUSA, OctoEast, Teresa Teng etc.) there are two singers called Jessica Ho, I think one is Korean but it's the Chinese one I like, she sings songs such as Wo Ai Ni. I also like many other singers such as Elvis (e.g. The Trilogy), Rod Stewart (e.g. The First Cut is the Deepest), Fats Domino (e,g, Blueberry Hill), Paul Anka (e.g. Oh Carol/Lonely Boy etc),, Helen Shapiro (e.g. Walking Back To Happiness etc), Max Merritt and the Meteors (e.g.Slippin' Away From Me), Billy Fury (e.g. Half Way to Paradise), Eddie Cochran (e.g. Three Steps to Heaven), Buddy Holly (e.g. Words of Love), The Beatles (e.g. Love Me Do/Hey Jude), Manfred Mann (e.g. Do Wah Diddy Diddy), The Hollies (e.g. Carrie Anne), The Everly Brothers (e.g. All I Have to Do is Dream), The Eagles (e.g. Take it to the Limit/Hotel California) The Shirelles (e.g. Will you still love me tomorrow), Fleetwood Mac (e.g. Don't Stop/Go Your Own Way) etc. and loads more, too many to mention. My very favourite Album is called 'To all the Girls' and it's full of beautiful duets, Willie Nelson and some of the best female singers such as Sheryl Crow, Rosanne Cash. Carrie Underwood, Norah Jones, Tina Rose and Brandi Carlyle etc. Out of all my above favourites, Hawaiin Slack Key is right up there near the top.
@@franguidry Thanks for your comment to me Fran, I've only just spotted it. Hawaii has got something very special, in common with Australia... great unique beautiful music and great musicians such as yourself Kind Regards, ChrisDownunder....
Absolutely outstanding. This sounds like it must be the soundtrack from the Pearly Gates.
I know what you mean about the heavenly quality of Led's playing. His sheer delight in melody and rhythm shines through and elevates the music.
Fran
A golden 6 1/2 minutes. Thank you. Sure wish you two would make a swing through Texas.
I never get involved in Led's booking and business side, but I do always mention that there are folks who keep asking for a visit to Texas.
Fran
Well alrighty then, 2 in a row . Such a happy tune and wonderfully played by my 2 fav entertainers.
Thanks, Robert. That's one of my favorite tunes, just as you say it has a happy vibe, perfectly suited to celebrating the end of the work week.
Fran
What a joy to have Led and Fran playing a concert for us!!! Much love guys!

Thank you, Mike, you're very kind.

Glad you enjoyed it, Bob.

These guys are serious. I am surrounded by some great musicians. Just check out a sublimity bluegrass jam. Love it and also other cross tunings.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Travis.
Fran
What island are you guys at?
These videos were shot in California, Walnut Creek specifically. Led came over for a brief tour around Northern Cal.
Fran
Only nice!
You know we had a good time, eh? We usually play it a little slower and I can keep up a bit better, but it was fun to push it a bit.
