When in O'ahu last month Mdm Bong and I went over to the Halekulani and watched Greg Sardinha's group play at sunset. Greg was one of the first student's of Jerry's when he began teaching local Hawaiian's steel guitar. What I always loved about Jerry was that he felt compelled to teach Hawaiian's their instrument. It has fallen from grace as a popular style but he helped bring it back. A hui hou to the Master of Touch and Tone. [ Edited by: Tiki_Bong on 2005-04-14 10:01 ]
