One of the older budget label releases..."The Diamond Head Hula Boys." A nice mix of instrumental & Hawaiian vocals, but, again, the cover art...wow....could you say "the maiden was begging to be de-flowered?"

Nothing special about the jacket, but I present this as something to pick up if you ever come across it. A beautiful LP, falsetto singing, nice arrangements...they just don' make them like this anymore...and this was, I believe, his only full LP recording....why, I wonder?

Here's a French-Canadian steel guitarist, Leonard Duquette, who recorded a number of LPs covering pop tunes of the day. Some of the jackets were quite fetching.....

Finally today...an Australian steel guitarist, Rob E. G.. Man, this guy ROCKED the steel guitar...a very aggressive style. I've only come across two LPs by him, but I'll be looking for more!
