- A favorite among steelers, this classic song evokes the soft, lilting sounds of the islands. "Sand" was written by the great steel guitarist & saxophonist Andy Iona in 1930. The tuning is B11: lo to high C#,D#,F#,A,C#,E. I used an "Aloha" 1950's Steel Guitar. Various island images accompany the audio. visit my website for more info: www.rosscosta.com
my favourite version of this song.. I keep coming back to listen to it.. :)
thank you ! appreciate your support.
Mine too
For a long time this was my happy place song from the age of 22-24 which was about 14 years ago now... I'd just close my eyes and dream about my imaginary life in Hawaii and used to listen to this every single day for at least a couple of years...but i still listen to it occasionally now.
thank you very much for your compliment ! andy iona's 'sand' & 'how'd ya do' are the reason i started playing steel guitar. i was a student of jerry byrd's back in '79 in honolulu. i don't have very many songs that i can play but these are the quintessential steel guitar standards...
thanx again. aloha🤙😎
Hawaii truly IS paradise!
I never get tired of this!
I am completely in love with this song and version.Fanfriggentastic.I'm moving ive had enough.
luls you right to sleep to dream of whispy clouds, a cool breese, the sound of the tide, bright sun, and beautiful women.. simply awsome
great sound, by ross costa. also jerry byrd, great music talent.
Man, I miss Oahu!!!
Pretty much the quintessential Hawaiian song. Love those key drops...puts me in mind of Henry Mancini's 'Lujon'.
andy iona's 'sand' & 'how'd you do' ? are my faves to play at luaus (been awhile since I played one, tho). I feel most comfortable playing in the B11 tuning...thanx for your comment...
@@rocker0215 Is this song part of an available CD? I'd like to obtain one if so. I just recently purchased a few Buddy Merril cds...such a good player. Thank you! ~ JP

Aloha, Ross
Great to see someone from Ka'a'awa giving it a world wide thumbs up, while sharing a classic tune on the steel, and you do it well!
Also, real nice that you gave Jerry Byrd a spot in the montage.
You made my day, dude!

I'm a music man myself-barbershop, to be exact. So harmony of any kind floors me. LOVE the visuals, and that Gus Khan cover. Done some of his stuff, but not this one.
