Thanks
to everyone who came out for the Free Slack Key Guitar Symposium on November
25!
It is always difficult to write about music. Even more so when trying to describe the exceptional two hours a rapt Lana`i audience passed under the spell of these two talented musicians as they talked story while performing, providing us all with great insight into the history, forms and nuances of Slack Key guitar playing, Hawaiian musical history and their own diverse influences. It was an exceptionally rare treat and the Lana`i Art Center was honored to present such a quality event. |
This
program was presented in cooperation with the National Organization for
Traditional Artists Exchange and supported in part by the State Foundation
on Culture and the Arts through appropriations from the Legislature of
the State of Hawai`i and by the National Endowment for the Arts.
We are extremely grateful to them for such an innovative and excellent project. |
