Thanks for taking a moment to comment. Those slack key masters CDs are a treasure, aren't they? I'm flattered that you mention our stuff in the same sentence. Led and I play together whenever we're in the same area. We've managed to put together two clips this year while we are visiting Hawai`i and I hope to capture another one or two. Then he will visit California next month and we'll try to get some tunes down then. I have a playlist of the stuff we've done together: ruclips.net/p/PLKRxWcC_Lftc7G4ByRpjNm79hjuZ9PrPt Fran

That is certainly what we're hoping for, thanks for letting us know that we're succeeding. Fran

Aloha Mike, so great to hear from you. How have you been? Fran

@@franguidry Singing with Na Leo Nahenahe SF chorus, playing slack key and ukulele. We’re doing great. Love to get together when you’re back in California. Come up to wine country?

@@finemc28 We'll see what we can come up with. Glad to hear things are going well. Fran

Thanks, I really love this song but I always thought it would be too complicated for me to figure out. Maybe I'm still learning (grin). Actually, the chord changes are very similar to "Pua Lililehua" which I figured out recently so that made "Kipahulu" accessible. Fran

Martin, how nice to hear about a REAPER connection. I've certainly gotten a lot of help from the forum and cut a lot of recordings using REAPER. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Fran

Ah, that's one from back in the day. We used to cat-sit for the folks who lived there, it was a terrific spot. That's still one of my favorite songs and Led loves it too. Fran

@@franguidry I don’t understand, but, it sounds so sweet…..I am surprised you don’t have more followers on youtube

@@jennifers6435 Thanks Jennifer, I guess I don't push very hard for subs. The channel is just for fun and to capture some of Led's magic to share. Fran

@@franguidry I just read a translation of this song..beautiful poetry

My grandparents on my mother’s side were born on the big island..he was from Kona

Aloha Jennifer, I'm so glad you're enjoying sampling these clips. Fran

Thanks, Ken, that Martin is pretty ragged but it still has that iconic sound. Fran

I'm having such a good time when Led and I play together, but it's almost better to hear from all the folks who enjoy these clips. So glad you liked it. Fran

Led had fun figuring that one out and it has become a regular part of his shows and our get-togethers. Fran

You're certainly welcome, Jack. Thanks for your visits and comments. Fran

Mahalo Kory, what a fun set of changes and lovely melody. No wonder it became an instant classic. Fran

Oh yes, Led really enjoyed that visit, and I'm sure folks on Guam enjoyed his mastery of guitar, uke, and vocals. He has such a wonderful stage presence too. Fran

Aloha, Brian, I sure agree with your opinion of the setting, I was really happy to be able to catch a bit of the gorgeous sky we see nearly every day. Fran

You're cetainly welcome Mike, thanks for stopping by. Fran

Tony, I hope the video gives you some clues for playing it. I'm playing G-B7-Eminor-C-G-D7-G then vamp D7-G. Fran

Mahalo John, this song has such a haunting quality and it fits so well on the slack key guitar. Fran

Thank you, David, I was so happy to capture a bit of the gorgeous sky. Lots of fun to learn this tune too. Fran

Aloha, Susan, so nice to hear from you. Fran

We love to make the doggies happy! Thanks Robert. Fran

I agree, I know a couple of steelers but they are too busy to get together. I do have one clip in the collection with a steel player who was visiting from Seattle. Fran

That will be the 42nd annual slack key festival on O`ahu, it should be a blast but it's four hours so it's a pretty good commitment. I hope your visit was great otherwise. Fran

Thanks for visiting and commenting, glad you enjoyed it. Fran

Ah, Jennifer, thanks for your expression. Fran

Thank you so much, I'm glad you found the channel and enjoyed the clip. Fran

@@andyshaw953 Mahalo Andy, appreciate your stopping by. Fran

We all miss him, surely not as much as you but he was a special person who touched a lot of lives. Fran

Thanks for visiting and commenting, Malcolm. I'm so lucky to get to sit and watch Ledward create these magical moments. Fran

Thanks Phil, after the rough spots in the middle we were very pleased to have ended in sync. Fran

Thank you James, so glad you enjoyed the tune. Fran

I sure hope we will get another clip or two before our visit ends. Then we'll have more chances when Led comes to California. Fran

Since this video was shot there have been big changes at the park with major construction now going on for over a year. Here's the video I shot last year: ruclips.net/video/0zbNqYJpXhQ/видео.html Happily the Kalapawai Market is still staying in business. Fran

Mahalo Bob, as you can probably tell we had a lot of fun doing it. Fran

Ever since I started playing with Led I've tried to find a way to complement and support his playing. I'm glad it's working for you, I feel honored to have the opportunity. Fran

Thank you, Ann, so glad you enjoyed the clip. Fran

As always, thanks for your visits and comments. I also appreciate your visit to the description, there's so much to learn about in Hawaiian music. Fran

Aloha, it's a pleasure to be able to share these tunes with you and with other people who appreciate them. Fran

Thank you, I think slack key is one of the few musical styles that aim for that feeling of calm and comfort - nahenahe it is called. Fran

In all my slack key playing and recording I'm hoping to bring more people to this lovely style and this rich culture. Ledward is also creating a record of the sounds he heard growing up in Kalapana. I think his playing could only have developed as it did in a total family immersion. Fran

@@franguidry Let me know where to get CD’s! 😄🎶🎶🎶🏄🏻‍♂️❤️🇺🇸

That sweet sound of the tropics, yes it's definitely in there. Led can bounce all around the guitar but still make it relaxing and comfortable Fran

How very nice of you, thanks. The whole thing is for our fun, but it's very satisfying to be sharing the fun with others and also to be capturing some of Led's magic for future fans. Fran

Sometimes the laugh at the end is because we managed to end together. Sometimes it's because we _didn't_ end together (grin). And often it's because Ledward has found some new treat on his guitar and enjoyed sharing it. Fran

It's always fun to see and hear how Led is going to phrase a song when we play together. Sometimes it's bouncy, sometimes kind of swinging, sometimes liquid and smooth, but always sweet and satisfying. Fran

Aloha Linda, yes it's all about the fun first of all, and being able to share it just makes it better. Fran

We feel lucky beyond words to be able to spend some time in this neighborhood. Fran
