I have a CD with all of these songs on it with the same players. I think it is called Billy Jack Wills Live in Sacramento. I found it in a used record and book shop in San Francisco.

I believe Vance Terry was around 17 years old at the time of this recording. He was an absolute master of the steel guitar even at that young age.

Amazing. Also I love the description that only gives medium, fast or slow... probably to help the DJs to decide.😊 thanks as always!

How does it compare to the 45rpm PTP 12 inch, Ortofon SPU version on KZbin? Maybe yours is more naturally dynamic(i.e. 24 bit)?

Vance Terry was the best pedal steel player that ever lived.

Hi Chris, I put up a couple of more clips on dad @FirstTeleUser - Hope you are well, and thank you keeping dad and Speedy's name alive for all players to enjoy. John Bryant

Hi Chris, you might want to check out documentary footage I put up - I hope everyone enjoys. Send me a note to say hello. John Bryant (JB)

Salut' for this excellent post 🇬🇧

Brilliant! Right on time! I could listen to it all day.

Beautiful makes me almost shed tears one of the greatest voices of country ever 🥲

I totaly have forgotten about this until it came poppin' up today. I reckon my old post from six years ago and have to confirm, Chis, this is super cool! Thanx for the upload!

Amazing ! some rare stuff , thanks Chris for posting this historic music . I am the proud owner of a 1928 National Hawaiian German Silver style 1. That looks like a style 2 in the photo . Incredible instruments

Thanks for the great posting of Sol Hoopii playing the National Hawaiian Tricone guitar !

The National Hawaiian Tricone guitars are sometimes mistaken for electric guitars , they have that slightly distorted electric sound, long sustain and incredible dynamics , from a whisper to a scream ! These Hawaiian non fretting guitars like the one Sol is shown with in the picture with the neck and body made as one piece have that sound that the Spanish style fretted instruments don't really have . That is why the National Tricone was designed, for playing with the steel bar . National Hawaiian German Silver Tricones are incredible instruments. I own a 1928 National Hawaiian German Silver Tricone #945 . National Resophonic instruments can build you a brand new one on a special order . Truly a magical instrument beyond compare .

Excellent video of a true legend. With an instrument hand built by another legend, Paul Bigsby. This instrument is shown extensively in the book "The Story of Paul Bigsby" by Andy Babiuk, (FG Publishing, 2008). This book shows practically all Bigsby's instruments, included his famous Bigsby vibrato. It's a book hard to lay down once you start reading it. Very highly recommended.

Great musical example for future singers.

Norma Jean used Dorothy Dandrige as an inspiration when creating the blonde bombshell. You can literally see the mannerisms that inspired her Marilyn Monroe character in this clip. I wish they could have gotten a picture together, they even died around the same age in the same way.

Bought a lap steel with a Lace pickup just so I could copy the Bernie Kaai sound. Love it.

Fantastic!!!! Thanks for this!

Watching this performance makes me want to have adult relations with Dorothy.

Huge Roy Lanham fan.......love the Whipporwills

Thankyou C! Hawaiian is all I am winen for.

Perhaps the greatest picker of all time; if country ain't your piece of cake, this man alone must convince it is.. As in yesteryears Jerusalem, it showes Kentucky is the center of the earth..

Refreshing

Best idea today: search "pedal steel album"

The song had been originally recorded by Ella Mae Morse and released earlier in 1942. I find it rather amazing that Dorothy Dandridge did a version, on film no less, that same year.

I bet they had listened to Django at some point

First track is pretty frantic.

She is still one of the most beautifullest woman in the world. Good gosh golly.

The sweet defeat of delete . . . I win & you have no idea. Aloha!

Too speedy for the average man!

I had never heard that recording. Thank you for sharing. I love the Hammond S6! Some say mockingly the chord organ is to music what painting-by-numbers is to painting. I don’t understand why anyone should ridicule artistic hobbies of any kind. Many young kids acquired a taste for music playing on those inexpensive instruments.

This is real musicianship. I doubt that any of today's "super guitarists" could even come close to this level without electronic gimmicks.

Their version of St. Louis Blues is by far my favourite version.

This is only a glimpse of his musical genius as a musician and songwriter. A credit to Kentucky. His instrumentals are breathtaking. I look forward to seeing him in the Resurrection - Acts 24:15.

Johnny was my guitar instructor for many years in the early 60s in the Bronx, He was a great guy.

The recordings come across TOO clean- its sound is almost 'uncanny' in the way a reborn doll might be. It's still good music at least- though it does sound... uh, inorganic at times.

Musicianship, what a concept!

This is absolutely beautiful…. This is the Hawaiian music that I love to listen to …. Aloha everyone.

Beautifully organic sounding. Thank you so much for posting this fantastic groovelicious music 🎶

A yippity i aye mofo!

I'm watching the truly stunning Dorothy Dandridge in 2024. I just wish she knew that she was still turning heads over 80 years later.

I used to have some of these the Sol K Bright recordings from a pal via Bob Brozman. It really widened my musical horizons developing a love for this amazing Polynesian music. Thanks, I lost my tapes ❤

Breathtaking!

Outstanding. This made my day seeing this. Nothing but the best!

It just struck me that this music breathes because there is not that heavy drums and bass sounds were are so used to today.

One of my all time favorite bands. Not enough recognition but those of us who seek out the deep cuts know. This stuff swings so hard
