Gerald Ross Member Posts: 247 From: Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Registered: Sep 2004	posted 04-29-2008 10:04 Here's a new steel tune. This 1940's era Hawaiian standard is from the pen of the great Andy Iona. Both Bing Crosby and Artie Shaw had hits with this one as well. I'm playing my "new" 1954 Fender MOTS Champion six string steel in C6 (CEGACE). The steel has a new replacement pickup by Jason Lollar. Jason emphasized the mids a bit more in this design. The guitar's electronics were completely rewired by my friend Bill Creller. Gliding along the strings is my new Tribo-Tone bar. The rhythm guitar is the 2003 D'Angelico archtop. Uke is my 2006 Talsma Tenor. Band In A Box - bass. All the instruments are recorded direct - no mics. The only modification to the Fender's tone is a slight bit of compression and a bit of reverb. South Sea Island Magic South sea island magic Has taken possession of me I'm content forever to Linger and dream by the sea Moonlight, twilight, starlight And songs that are old but still new South sea island magic Has brought me the magic of you ------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gerald Ross Northwest Ann Arbor, Michigan's King of the Hawaiian Steel Guitar http://www.geraldross.com Board of Directors Hawaiian Steel Guitar Association http://www.hsga.org [This message has been edited by Gerald Ross (edited 04-29-2008).] IP: Logged

The song started, when the slide came in, my eyelids dropped and all of the sudden, I was under "the" Banyan tree at the Moana, trades blowing, just right.. You are a fantastic player! I could listen to you all day! It put me in a fine mood, Thank you.. I just got "moonlight and shadows", can't wait! About your backing tracks, is there a tab book to play along, or you just need to know those songs. [This message has been edited by RonE (edited 04-29-2008).] IP: Logged
